While I appreciate your advice, I may be better suited to follow it once I have a more consistent revenue stream and better connections.Thanks!

If you're seeking a reliable income stream, checkout Cleveland.

Zillow itself is diversified across multiple revenue streams (Zillow Premier Agent, Zillow Rentals, Zillow Home Loans, and data APIs).

Even if you occasionally get some college kids who wouldn't mind, that won't result in a steady stream of renters.

Once we get through this high-level conversation, we can determine if wholesaling is the right activity to leverage to build your ideal stream of income. 

Acting as a messenger, the agent may be in a better position to negotiate a discount without ruffling the homeowner's feathers.A real estate agent can also play the “bad guy” in a transaction, preventing the bad blood between a buyer and seller that can kill a deal.

.- Your experience with your properties which do or don't have acreage / views / streams / ponds- Your experience with access to good labor (cleaning & handyfolks)- Your experience with the renters.

If I were you, I would hold the property...you have already put your money, blood, sweat and tears into it, now its time to let it work for you (with your PM).

This could be a way to guarantee a steady stream of income while still working on higher-margin deals separately.

You BUY when there is blood in the street, yes?
