Houses in my development have sold as high as 585k, my house was appraised for 475k as is.

So you need to develop your checklists before you bring your first deal.  30 days is a very short time to execute and learn.etc etc.Use the above to start the development process for your wholesaling efforts.

IMO, it all depends on your circumstances.

Building a portfolio allows you to gain experience, develop systems, develop your own approach to managing properties etc.

Given the location and how the town has been developing it seems like a good investment opportunity for rentals.

We're balancing areas that will see some development for appreciation, while also being decent enough to live there now and attract desirable tenants.
