Looking for any help you can provide.

Yes, my advice would be to find the person in your market doing what you would like to do at a large scale, e.g. wholesaling, and figuring out how you can provide them value.

If it does, the interest rate doesn't matter as it is just a part of the calculation.You might also look at selling one or both of the properties in a 1031 exchange and buying into a new property (or several) that provides higher returns. 

If you have a bookkeeper, ensure you provide any receipts, documentation, etc. to them on a timely basis.

Objectively, it doesn’t seem like waiting for rates to come down would make a huge impact in the current economy.

This is going to affect your purchase price, turnover ratio, maintenance expenses, etc. it also may impact your exit strategy when it’s time to sell the property. 

It's a great way to get a foot in the door and it provides more lending options as well if you owner-occupy.

I have tried calling the number that you provided but it was not in service.
