You don't necessarily pick up everything that way but you will pick up a lot of things. 

However my dilemma is that there is a large piece of land available for recreation of the tenants plus the home.

Picking a place to start and setting some goals will help get your momentum going.

I am no expert, but on #2 for an SUV is $25k you can write off.I believe a pick up with a 6 foot bed could qualify for full purchase price.

Most of time is tied up with my other commercial property on a big recreational lake.  

There are a few of us local agents on this site who I'm sure you'll be able to pick up a plethora of information from.We've been having a monthly meetup for members of this site, usually on the last Thursday of the month.

I'd encourage you when starting out to just pick one primary strategy and go from there, especially if you're looking to get into wholesaling.

One tip that I picked up here is while you are starting out and saving money for your investments, start driving / visiting areas you would like to invest in so you get a feel for prices, rents , house conditions etc, and visit and look at lots of homes and open houses so your eye get used to looking at repairs / upgrades that are normal in a particular market.

You can bring me 3 or 4 choices and I will pick one.

So for wholesaler pick a target market.
