If at some unlikely point in the future the tenant complains of stink, get ready to pull those planks up and scrub the mold off them, usually with chlorine bleach, before drying and reinstalling.

I feel my data is golden, my pitch is sound...Mojo Dialer ready!

I would think if a person had a buyer ready to go, they would be willing to negotiate a deal with that investor/wholesaler so that everyone can win in this scenario.

When you're ready for the down payment on the new home, you simply write yourself a check and use the cash as the down payment.

From everything I read, I understand that it would be accessible through there.

Another option is to invest somewhere that family or friends live and pay them to be a sort of “project manager” while the property gets rent ready.
