It sounds like you already have a great foundation with your rental and BRRR experience in the UK, and you'll find many similarities in the US market but also a few key differences.For location, I’d suggest looking into markets with strong population growth, economic stability, and landlord-friendly regulations.

I'm currently working on a few commercial deals off-market including a 35 unit office building. 

It is listed for low 40’s has been on the market over a year, went to auction and didn’t even sell I think we could get it for less.  

Off market from a realtor attempting to gain a listing from one of my available rentals.

It doesn't sound so much like a scam to me as marketing gimmick to get business.

I am interested in getting a better understanding of the Oklahoma wholesaling market, specifically the different neighborhoods/area, neighborhood pros/highlights/potential and cons, average/range of price point.

It offers immediate cash flow and diversification across different real estate classes and markets, freeing you from the headaches of active management.

Am I alone in finding that in today's market, wholesalers tend to be able to bring properties at the same price points as you can find by shopping at foreclosure auctions?

Not allowing pets could impact the marketability of your rental, especially in cities like Dallas.According to the article:"Data from Zillow reveals that twice as many renters filter for pet-friendly listings compared to any other amenity in the country’s 25 largest rental markets.
