If the work is done as a deleading activity and not as regular renovation, an inspector is required to call this out on their report which can be flagged as "unauthorized deleading." 

I am also an active agent working full time.

It seems most of the leasing brokers I've worked with sit passively waiting for someone to lease the space rather than actively seeking new tenants or national chains looking to expand. 

My immediate goals are to be more active on BP, join a local REI meet-up, and network with others.

opinions will vary.. however wholesaling is a pretty advanced activity and quite difficult really.to do it well it incorporates many different diciplines and you need to be on point with all of them.just like being an agent.. 90% of those that try wholesaling fail.. that's a fact and they go into debt doing it or blow their cash.50 to 60% who try to be real estate agents don't make it either.. but if you can get past the hump so to speak being an agent can be a lifelong rewarding career.. most wholesalers don't last a long time as they get to doing something else.and it really depends on your market.

You Dad is going to be your best bet here.

Investors can’t eliminate market shocks, but they can hedge their bets against booms and busts with a diversified portfolio and strategy based on general market conditions.

@David Huynh, rental real estate (passive activity) wouldn't count. 

What will you do to be sure work requests are fixed in a timely fashion, how will you handle and process leasing activity and rental applications, how will you handle access issues at the properties, how will you do bookkeeping, etc... .

Like James said there are any number of providers and brokers active here on BP.
