I am really trying to figure out the best career route that will enable me financially to move quickly but wisely.

My goal is one year of upgrading to bring the value of the property up, moving and raise the rent to $1750-1800 for both units (My realtor suggested those number because of the area and comps)I qualified by myself for the loan so that it enables my wife to seek a loan for the next rental property.

@Mark BroganThose who deal with wholesalers have to know they are getting on the circus train full of clowns, they also add to the problem by buying from the clowns, almost like co-conspirators enabling the wholesaler to act as they do, all for the sake of trying to get a better deal. 

Ultimate goal is to create some passive income to enable my wife to stay at home with our daughter.

Check with a knowledgeable professional to be sure you're not running afoul of any prohibited transactions such as enabling (using IRA funds to enable a personal investment).

It enables you to scan receipts from your phone and it's OCR capability "reads" pertinent information and integrates into Quickbooks eliminating a lot of data entry and paper records.

I HATE debt but that mindset enabled me to build an extremely high score that, ironically, I now use to leverage my credit cards for real estate (this is something I do and wouldn't necessarily recommend it to anyone as you have to be extremely disciplined to do this effectively).   

@Ching Yang, If you reword everything in terms of "act of service", you will be looked upon differently.Wholesalers enable quicker access to capital through a network of buyers to motivated sellers, without having to fix up the houses, that traditional MLS or retail buyers cannot provide.

This would enable you to come up with  less of a down payment.

Having someone with you enables you to bounce these ideas off of each other.
