I’m in a great spot financially and can’t wait to explore my options and dive in.

You are missing a poison that is not the fault of the person posting, but rather of high priced educational salespeople in the wholesaling industry.  

If there is a large amount of mold or potentially mold in spots you can't remediate, hire a professional.4.

Can't speak for AirDNA, but you don't have to have sophisticated software to know that Galveston is a great spot for a vacation rental.

Should I look for an internship to learn more about the flipping or investing industry, or would it be beneficial to use my license and work as a buyer/seller agent under a family friend's brokerage?

(We pull data from AirDna, STR Insights, tourism data, Airbnb & VRBO, and travel industry reporting)As we prepare for this launch, I would love to get your feedback:- What additional information would make this report more useful for you?

@Sachin Amin  it depends, in some zoning it is cumlitive such that in commercial you can do residential, and industrial you can do anything. 

I mean you could make offers and if you are in the market and they aren't you can always file complaints, (only legit ones) with the city, to keep it on their radar and make it a squeeky wheel for the current owner, but yeah i'm not really a fan of bailing out people in any industry who make mistakes, so by all means by the properties but not your or anyone else's problem that they made the errors they did.  

I plan to start out wholesaling learn how to spot good deals and then transition over to flipping.

While my primary goal is to make money, I have a soft spot for those with addiction.
