I strongly feel my dedication to helping others and my strong ethical and moral beliefs would allow me to become a great wholesaler with some advice and experience.

Ethics does not enter the equation.On the other hand it would be unethical for a tenant to refuse to leave a rented property when asked to do so by the property owner.

I am aware of many agents who have wholesaled deals, some of the biggest wholesalers in this market are licensed agents, ethically it appears no different than double ending a transaction which is a very popular tactic used by agents to squeeze every cent out of a deal.

Not sure how ethical that is.

Wholesaling can be done successfully and ethically, but it is a TOUGH business.

Really, we do have any morals or ethics as landlords.  

I recently sold my home (5 year live-in flip) for a 100k net profit, am single with a dog and really just want to start fresh in an area that I feel i can more closely relate too.My main question would be, should i look into buying something as an investment property (20-ish percent down) while i still have w2 income up here or would it be more financially responsible to head on down and rent for up to a year while i situate my work/living life, then apply for a owner occupied / FHA loan to save some capital.I'm not too afraid of finding a job, whether it be with a local contractor, a similar restaurant gig or really anything w2 related, as i have a solid work ethic and am not picky.
