If you are primarily a lender you can't really contract your way into another position and avoid that lending position.Other issues come up when a lender takes a management role in the operations of any borrower.

I would like to sell a second position mortgage portfolio I own. 

If you work for a company as a W2 wage earner and flip to a 1099 self-employed position.

Anyway, as I am actively searching for and applying for new positions, I am and always have been interested in wholesaling as a way to supplement income.What are some tips, pointers and or resources I can use to help me get the ball rolling?

Ideally that salary would be closer to 5-8% of the rents.

I think, in general, unless you're an extremely high W2 earner just looking to get into real estate for tax purposes, buying for cash flow gives you the durability to weather market fluctuations as you're never in a position where your back is against the wall and you need to sell... unless you have debt coming due.Now, that being said, if the true cash flow, after allocating for all expenses, vacancy, maintenance, capex, etc. is in the black, then I think taking a 5% CoC return in an appreciating market isn't a bad move, especially if there is a component of value-add.
