@James E.Hi James,I'm not a wholesaler... just an investor who has dealt with wholesale deals.My broad perspective is that wholesaling is a marketing job - where the wholesaler (on the surface) is trying to help a seller, but ultimately is trying to do that in a way that ends up costing the seller more money than it should have, had the seller taken more traditional means to achieve that sale.  

There is a time factor that needs to be accounted for as well.In my opinion - you will need to be able to reasonable achieve 2-3x the rents vs. the alternative for room rentals to be worth the squeeze.I'd check to see what other folks are renting individual rooms out for to see if it makes sense diving into.

Whether it is the trained and licensed professional in real estate, inspection services, septic, plumbing, electrical, HVAC, etc..... we need them so organize them in your target area and jump in...
