Another thing I am doing right now is looking for a mentor to help with my strategy, but in the meantime I thought I'd make a post and hear what BP investors would do in my shoes.For my situation, I am 26 and I have a very low income (55-65k annual) for my household and a growing family of 5 to support.

Research competition  and determine their profitability and how much they spend on marketing, how many employees they need, and how much time the wholesaler needs to devote to the business.  

how much do you have available to spend on renovations? 

You might spend between $5,000 and $20,000 on furnishing the unit, depending on your choices.

My wife has a hard time spending money.
