Take a look at the recent rehabs I've completed and other flips.Let me know what direction you want to go in - Buy and hold (rental) -- Or simply want to update and repair and resell the home. 

@Crystal Smith - yes your points are all spot on - i struggle with accurately gauging whether i think i will for sure cashflow more in a re-sell scenario vs. the cashflow on a re-fi vs. breaking even on either scenario.as far as house hacking, i listened to the BP podcast w/ Brandon Hall and visited the 1031 forum here and as far as I can tell, i can house hack and my tax consequence is pro rata in relation to the portion i occupy.

Real estate broker" or "broker" means any person who:(a) for another and for commission, fee, or other valuable consideration or with the intention or expectation of receiving the same directly or indirectly lists, sells, exchanges, buys or rents, manages, or offers or attempts to negotiate a sale, option, exchange, purchase or rental of an interest or estate in real estate, or advertises or holds out as engaged in these activities;(b) for another and for commission, fee, or other valuable consideration or with the intention or expectation of receiving the same directly or indirectly negotiates or offers or attempts to negotiate a loan, secured or to be secured by a mortgage or other encumbrance on real estate, which is not a residential mortgage loan as defined by section 58.02, subdivision 18;I don't have the time to dig any more deeply into another state's laws, but I expect that the legal way to wholesale is to first buy a property and then resell it.

@Kyle Allen my very first house I rehabbed to resell.
