I always thought first, last plus 1 month security is a lot but it works in some places and I would not be surprised if it was asked for when I was renting.

Wouldn't surprise me if this is a fake account with fake success stories.  

Don't be surprised if the tenant quits that job after being notified of a pending garnishment.

@Joseph Rios You've already been given the bad news that you've been too lenient with the tenants in the past, so I'd be surprised if you're able to retrain them in this final circumstance into tenants that will follow through with the word of the lease.

Also, the condition and location of the building could also influence the class you categorize a specific property.And lastly, are you surprised that a broker would categorize a property one class higher than it might really be?

You'll have to be able to differentiate between an emergency (roof coming off, front door smashed in and unlockable, no heat during winter, pipe burst and water leaking/pouring in the unit, etc) and what's something that can be added to a maintenance list and handled in one visit so the tenant knows how you'll take care of their problems.Doing the above involves setting standards for proper communication with you.

The unlicensed brokers trying to piggy back additional fees are breaking the law (no surprise there) and definitely don't add value.

That is pretty surprising to me, but I guess I am not as informed as I thought I was...

@Kenneth Garrett @Meghan McCallum There were in fact 2 means of egress, indoor stairs and emergency ladder from a window.

Truth is, wholesaling isn't for everyone and it does take work (surprise, surprise.... particularly in the beginning).
