My home town has a whopping 1900 or so residents, but with virtually no available rentals, including the three doors that we own (a 1BR Duplex and a 3BR SFH).I started studying REI in the early 2000's, but I was emotionally attached to paying off the mortgage on my residence.  

We wholesale 15-20 deals per month virtually.

I suspect virtually every state has the same verbiage in the license laws.IE if for profit or gain your business is to introduce buyers an sellers . then you need a license.

That will eventually kill the higher profit margins for everyone as more and more competition enters the market.In my opinion, if you can properly identify a small but high value segment, you can provide an alternative product with virtually no competition.

Who do I need on my team when I'm doing wholesale deals (lawyer, cpa, title company, escrow company, virtual assistant, etc.?)?

Homes priced between $100,000 and $200,000 are virtually non-existent in the greater Austin area, with inventory at less than one month in July 2016.

Nice to virtually meet you!

If you plan on doing business in remote markets (virtual wholesaling/flipping), you need a partner on the ground in those markets that ideally is knowledgeable about the market and the area.  

AS for mold this Is present in virtually every home somewhere.. just take the bleach to it and call it a day.

It's been done for years, look at the MLS for links, Realtor sites, it's a virtual home tour. :)
