I have been reading the online resources about getting started, searching the market, and even doing tours, but I am hesitant to jump in and buy a house as I have quite a large amount of student debt.

When you invest, it is a good idea to have a 5-10 year hold horizon that you are planning for, not just looking at the immediate situation in an area. 

It sounds like you’ve got a great start, and I’m sure you’ll do well in wholesaling.

For those with limited funds, starting your journey through wholesaling, can be a smart move.

Any ideas on what I could turn it into to help generate some extra profit?

Also, there’s much to delve into on of those scenarios, like what type of cashflow or investment do you want, etc. residential, multi-res, small multi-res, commercial, industrial, etc.There seems to be fewer deals around these days and this typically benefits the more experienced and skilled investors but there are always multiple investors that get “tripped-up” in these markets due to them relying on recent “fortunate” market circumstances only to realize the markets cycle and they weren’t prepared or didn’t underwrite properly to account for unforeseen potential.There are more considerations, but this is a start.

I think all of your suggestions are great possible ideas to do this deal! 

There are programs to find solds so that would be a good idea but an agent can pull directly from the MLS.

While I have found MTR tenants who stay a year, most start month to month and just happen to extend.
