@Tina L King, a) wholesaling, while easy in concept, is very hard.  

STR I would highly recommend not to focus on as first investment: also there, my partner is a superhost and we have been managing Airbnb for years and the last year has been pretty funky: people tend to book last minute and you risk to be cash flow negative starting brand new.

In SF zoned areas, they usually start with a negative equity position meaning the cost to add is more than the value added. 

I would think that with an eviction or even the start of an eviction process that would severely negatively impact her ability to get a new lease.

On top of that, insurance has risen making our little bit of cash flow gone and we are now in the negative monthly.

Out of those 6, If I can't get at least 2 people to talk to me or I get any negative feedback from anyone, it's a pass.Finally, no matter how good/bad the credit any collections related to housing (except cable company).

His knowledge and expertise in the field are unmatched, and he has a knack for breaking down complex concepts into easily understandable terms.

i don't think that's the case right now.I think turnkey is a good option if you have significant liquid capital, want to buy in a solid market in a solid area, couldn't care less about cash flow for 10+ years and are even willing to be negative, and are willing to pay for repairs and capex without batting an eye.
