If you’re comfortable with a bigger investment, a duplex is good for the benefit of additional cash flow and you could house-hack.

We bought our house in TN with only 5% down.

I'd level up with a BRRRR, live-in flip, or house-hack before jumping into a challenging renovation.

Now, are you planning to house-hack and live in one unit, or going full rental?

A wholesaler, in most situations, can not sell a house if they don't actually own the property. 

Have you thought about house hacking? 

And once you change to a new market, you throw all that out and have to rebuild it.I love expensive markets.

@Chad Chase - I think funding a fix and flip with a HELOC from a primary house could work.

I’m thinking of suing the utility companies for not notifying me of non-payment creating unsafe/ unsanitary situations that led to house fire, thousands in damage.
