@Peter Castrianni, my wife and I own to STR rentals in the Pocono’s, and really like them,  prices have rose significantly, and I have still found Pocono properties to have a better price to rent ratio then some of the other top STR markers.

@Kenneth Rose hey Kenneth.

If I were in your shoes, I would definitely get started with house hacking - buy a house with a low down payment (3-5%), rent out your extra rooms and either lower your cost of living or cash flow $$$, get experience managing your own property, and after a year, rent out your room and repeat the process. 

2 years ago I was in the same exact shoes.

The closing date is stipulated in the P&S agreement you have with the seller, so is the earnest money(minimal) and which attorney firm will handle the closing (your attorney firm)The assignment fee is payable by the buyer to you after closing costs are accounted forYou as a wholesaler are assigning the contract to the buyer who is going to step into your shoes as Principal to the initial P& S agreement with the Seller.

If I were in your shoes I would sell if the market is hot and use the money to buy one MF and if possible one or two SF. 

I created an online shoe business a year ago and I'm on track to crack 100k in sales my first year.

Then again, those #s are tough to come by in my market so please take this with a grain of salt.In your shoes, I'd run comps to make sure this is what similar properties are selling for. 

If I were in your shoes I would be so tempted to jump right in and grow through the learning stages.

During that time frame real estate prices rose.
