As an aside, and I'll admit I am not a fan of wholesaling for a variety of reasons, if you are going to get into wholesaling you better really understand what is happening in your market. 

I'm a big fan of crypto. 

Fan Bi I’ll send you a PM.

I'm just about to start my first house hack duplex rehab project here are ideas I'm considering:-high efficiency toilet system-ceiling fans in bedrooms and main rooms-electronic keypad door locks-programmable thermostat-programmable electric bathroom baseboard heater

You come across some good deals but you can also get that just by getting added to wholesaler buyer lists.One thing that has worked well for me is joining the local REI Facebook groups where good deals are posted frequently.

@Eric AdoboI love Journey, not a big Def Leppard fan but I would definitely sell their ticket to get Morris and Kiyosaki any day.

As a general rule, in order to pick a market, I suggest you go with:1) your own backyard (maybe inaccessible price-wise as you mentioned)2) where you have family/friends3) where you frequent as a traveler4) where you'd want to retireBest!

Also I am personally a fan of Robert Kiyosaki, and he has a Rich Dad Library of books, https://www.amazon.com/default/e/B001H6GV90/ref=sr..., which I am currently working my way through now. 

Frequently the hack occurred when a party clicks a link to a "real estate purchase contract" in an email and they don't think twice. 

I am a fan of the South Florida area, I like the macroeconomics and job growth in Fort Lauderdale and Miami.
