WHOLESALING RESIDENTIALLY ZONED PROPERTY?? HELP

[Jeffrey Douglas]

So I'm new to Real Estate.  Been reading books and listening to podcasts for months.  Decided to get my feet wet in wholesaling.  Following what i've learned from a training program I'm taking, I've reached out to Craigslist to get some leads on distressed properties.  

So there is a property has is zoned in a Residential Area and a pretty good part of town. It needs a rehab. The owner I spoke to owns it outright and would be willing to let it go. So there is substantial equity in the property. Its in a pretty nice part of town and I see it has some potential. I realize I will have to go inspect the property, determine an actual ARV, and do my due diligence.

 I'm wondering what problems I may run into with it being residentially zoned and trying to rehab it and if anyone could lend some advice based on their experience trying to flip or wholesale a Residential property?

Currently in S. Georgia

Always Grateful,
