The track season short term rentals and constant demand from people employed at the Navy training facility could make it work well for buy & hold. 

Reason for 30y would be so that my debit to income ratio would be lower if I was applying for a 2nd loan.Main thing is I won't be able to qualify for a loan without my full time income, however, I really need to go part time asap as the busy season for my biz is coming up.

Southern Minnesota, all four seasons beautiful rural area.

Biggest problem I see with those older home conversions is most of them require the owner to pay utilities cause it wasnt made for and split up in apartments. 

For me, I am looking in my original home state of Texas now, but I know what the coast of maine has done for my current properties and so although the properties are older they are built like brick ----houses.

Especially when dealing with older houses.

I'm new to wholesaling and I'm open to any advice that any of you more seasoned investors may have to offer to get my business going in the right direction.  

My older clients  I ask how old they are then multiply by 365 and tell them how many times they have spun this earth around.... 95 years old has spun earth 34,675 times... it usually puts a smile on their face.  

Of course we all know when you talk to older people, they remember the good old days. 

I joined Bigger Pockets to hopefully learn from seasoned real estate investors.
