I probably plan to go back home with my mom so I can save faster.

Not sure if that’s the best route to go so looking for advice/connections.  

I don't think the typical sub-to deal would lead to equity skimming because they are likely close to foreclosure and there isn't enough time to rent the unit back out and make money allowing the unit to go to foreclosure.

Cost $500 per mailing and my timeI paid to have 10,000 post card mailers sent out by a company, took a month for them to go out after they designed and submitted the order - 5 unproductive calls - Cost (Too embarrassing to mention) Didn't receive feedback which address were no goodI paid to have advertising inserts I designed into the weekly coupon mailer.

Without knowing KC, I would be hesitant because given the price and rent, I suspect it might be a less desirable area of town—again based on prices in completely unrelated cities.  

Should you decide to do this full time and do more than 1 flip at a time, private lending and fix&flip loans will be the way to go.

Again while they may legally be bound to an agreement, you are going to have to go through the court system to get them to abide by it, and that is not going to be easy or cheap.I see your point.

Ok Im officially deciding to go down the wholesaling route now I'm currently working for a company locally to wholesale. 

The highest value post-TDR use, though, is to go further and create "ecological mitigation" credits and then sell those, too.

My dad used to manage other people's properties but eventually quit because the money wasn't worth it and he always ended up prioritizing their properties so as not to get any hassle from them.Another way to approach this might be to go all in on one project yourself and see how far that money gets you.
