If $200K pre-tax is realistic while doing wholesaling then I would be fully content with it, and I would scale it (I use the word in literal sense, meaning: make my operations grow ever larger, not necessarily Warren Buffett large:-)) from there by investing extra capital and using financing leverages to grow into other ventures.

Start building your network meanwhile by Meetups for Real Estate and also  Facebook Groups for Real Estate in your areaMaybe you can get into a Joint Venture with some one and that can escalate the time to buy  a property

A successful BRRRR without the tailwind of market appreciation during the renovation period is really, really hard unless you have cash to buy a place that does not qualify for conventional financing, ways to source off market deals with some real issues that you don't mind taking on, and/or access to a crew or cheap labor (could be DIY).

3 years ago when I first started my REi journey I thought I could do everything myself I’m big on DIY… (I did just that, I launched my first rental just like most of yall *BP,Youtube,books, I literally didn’t know what a mastermind even was , few months into my journey I started to feel stuck and couldn’t get the answers I needed. ran into a few of Jesse’s YouTube interviews and I was hooked on MTR (Travel nurses was topic during this time) I tried doing it myself and failed countless times and I wasn’t sure If I was even heading towards the right direction. 

@Tony Payper If you are open  to Joint Ventures and also equity partners, you will have more options:)
