My question is, do I sell this home to gain capital in order to invest into “cheaper” rentals and attempt to BRRRR?

It just doesn't sound like a good deal.Okay well that's my attempt.

I appreciate how this is a massive community of helpful and encouraging people.It dawned me recently that even though I have been intently studying and attempting to get started in real estate, I was not doing enough to make it happen.

That is clearly a misleading statement.What I do whenever I buy a property from an unlicensed and unrepresented individual is make them sign a document that states they understand I don't represent them and that I intend to buy the property for X which is less than what I believe it'd sell for on the open market and that my intention is to sell it myself on the open market for my own profit.If you aren't planning on closing the sale I've got no idea why you'd be attempting to wholesale it though.

I k now I am a coach and motivational person at the least, so anything I can do to keep you on the path, I will attempt my best to do so.I wish you much success

If you plan on renting it, you'll want some type of record of the monies you've invested into it for establishing your depreciation basis.If the "cash purchase" is an attempt to avoid taxes, that can come back and bite someone later so may as well keep everything on the table.

She contests this, but it is clear her adult son is living in one of the rooms, attempting to grow pot in the closet, has punched holes in the wall/destroyed drywall, etc. 

They are set in their ways, and any attempt to collect a deposit now will be seen as an intrusion. 

I will attempt to correct things by asking questions of your reasons for the statements you are making above.
