You’re not “selling houses,” you’re serving people — and that’s the most secure foundation you can build on.Take it step by step:Learn the language — start with understanding contracts, ARV, and basic deal structure.Shadow or network with someone who’s doing it ethically.Focus on service, not speed.

Think:Historic homes near downtown or the riverfrontProperties with acreage or scenic viewsBuildings with flexible layouts or zoning near tourist drawsI’m refining my wholesaling strategy to better serve this niche, and I’d love to hear from those of you who:Invest in STRs or event venues in Tennessee or the SoutheastKnow where these investors hang out (online groups, meetups, platforms)Have tips on how to market to this audience effectivelyIf you’ve had success wholesaling to this type of buyer—or you are one—I’d be grateful for any insights.

So, I do agree with hedging your bets and serving a notice to pay or quit.The issue with them not paying rent and you using the security deposit is that they have zero incentive to clean the unit and if they damage it, you have no additional funds.If it were me, I'd serve them an eviction notice and then mark them as owing on a credit reporting site(I use Front Lobby).

Back to business though, they'll serve you well.

Make sure you serve the notice properly. 

Every month, I had to serve her a 7 days notice and she would make partial payments.
