Good Afternoon,I am currently in pursuit of my real estate license and am sorting through my options for during and post license course.

The lesson I have learned already is that it is important to use the guidelines and parameters encouraged by those who have gone before us, but also be open to pursuing a good deal if properly vetted to break into a market or just to keep moving forward in your individual real estate pursuits.

Your pursuits all seem to be more creatively focused, which would seem to lean more towards the design side of the business (architectural, interior, staging, landscaping, etc.) though I may be reading you wrong. 

Since you are familiar with buy and hold, I added the below links to refresh your memory while you revisit a new action plan for 2016.https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2015/03/27/financing-options-rental-property-guide/ (financing options for rentals)https://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2014/03/06/bp-podcast-060-serge-shukhat/ (0-68 rentals in 4 years)http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/01/04/how-to-rent-your-house/ (house rental guide)http://www.biggerpockets.com/renewsblog/2013/02/22/buying-rental-property/ (how to buy a rental property)To be more successful, you simply have to work on the other elements to progress your REI pursuit.

Wishing you the best in your real estate pursuits. 

There is much to learn on this site that can assist you with your pursuit in wholesaling.  

To be more successful, you simply have to work on the other elements to progress your REI pursuit.

So, while still working my 9-5, I began to fill my evenings and weekends in the pursuit of real estate.

If some fellow tells him he built a truck that's just as good as a Ford but he can't tell him why because he has "secrets"...well I would tell the guy to forget about cerebral pursuits like REI investing and start your own political party.

Wishing you the best in your pursuits, hope to see you around!
