You might have a challenge with tenants/customers feeling uncomfortable next to a prison so getting the local insights might be valuable to you as well. 

If you have any questions or need anything, please feel free to reach out. 

The biggest thing holding me back from getting started is me feeling like i need more guidance.

My long winded question is this:What are some fresh new money-making strategies ( real-estate or not ) that aren’t on the hype yet, that don’t take much start up capital, similar to wholesaling before it got popular?

If you log on to some of the popular sites like furnishedfinder or Airbnb you will see that they have "rent by the room" options.

I feel like if you're paying a PM another 10%, I'd hope they weren't allowing almost a month vacant every year.

I am pursuing the investor niche myself and I’m curious on what things are like from your point of viewAnd maybe I can pick up some tips ;)

A few tips that should help as you go!
