Any books or videos I can read or watch?

A good broker will FaceTime on site or send video walk throughs and will help shepherd the application process through, in addition to having specific local knowledge.FYI streeteasy started charging brokers to list rental last year and so it's not complete, particularly at lower price points.

@Brandon Reed I feel like it helped me a lot, I got the video add-in as well.

My advice would be to engage as much as you can here.

I was away for a military school when I stumbled upon a YouTube video by BiggerPockets where I learned about the BRRRR method!

it is also difficult to engage in wholesaling with your IRA without providing services to the IRA, which may be why your current custodian is not willing to process such deals.Short term gap funding to an unrelated wholesaler or other such strategies may better fit within an IRA, where everything needs to be very much at arm's length, and where passive income is tax favored (as opposed to trade or business income such as this).

But any broker can engage in commercial or residential transactions.

I suggest you do some more research on wholesaling check out Max Maxwell on youtube and watch all his videos, But if you want, message me with the address and ill tell you a ball park range of what its worth with the MLS 

@ Craig: I watched the YouTube video and Cozy sounds super awesome.

This is a step in the right direction.Look forward to engaging with you all!
