I'm open to any suggestions on educational sources, and where to network with like minded people to help me get started.Thanks in advance for any help/advice!

Especially with our long term investment goals in mind.

I didn't even think MTM was favorable for the landlord before I moved from Canada because it would (in my mind) create havoc in terms of predicting your future cash flows. 

I would love to connect with "positive, like minded" wholesalers,...brokers, title companies and attorneys. 

You can join real estate networking groups in your city and attend some local events to meet like minded individuals in which you can collaborate.

Just keep in mind this document is something you are always updating so keep a digital file handy.

Another thing to in mind is wholesale deals are cash deals so you typically can't get bank financing to close them. 

I have roughly familiar with them but will explore each of these scenarios with a bit of study and see which one is frankly the easiest to do, while also being the easiest to explain.On second read, I also really like the land contract idea as that seems pretty close to what I had in mind since she owns the property outright.

I don't mind showing a house while we are still painting or cleaning or repairing. 

"Best and easiest way to structure" brings up several points in my mind: deal structure + legal structure + tax implications (listed in the order in which I feel more versed, not necessarily their importance).
