I earned my BA an AA and AS is three years from accredited institutions.

These wholesalers actually earn their fee and operate based on a solid business model. 

Instead, mix a solution 50/50 alcohol & water or vinegar and water.I'm in Calif and the house has a Western exposure w/o shade, so to reduce the heat load, we added a tint to the outer pane which reduces the light transmitted into the room.

@Amber Webb  think twice re registering your REI as a business, especially in flipping.Read up on the IRS dreaded classification of "RE Dealer".IMO, if you need write-offs to make your flips profitable, you need to buy smarter and reduce costs.

Then would you think it wise to further reduce the addresses by excluding any homes that do not have enough estimated equity (current est. value - loan amount)?

At "way over $100k" I'd be reducing my expenses so I could save up for passive multifamily investing.

I am researching flipping market and i can divide it on 3 segments:1. rehab - when someone gets ugly or under condition house, puts a small money to get condition shortly and sale it as soon as possible - a small profit, high dependence on purchase price. in this case we earn on buying.2. improvement - getting old or cheap house, puts more money to get more expensive house which we can sale for high price and get more profit. in this case we earn on buying and improvement to get highest price among around houses in that location3. re-building or building new one - when we destroy old and build new house. in this case we earn more profit when get something absolutely new with highest price.

Your student loan debt is being serviced from after aftertax income, so that 6.8% needs to be adjusted for your marginal tax rate to yield what you must actually earn to service that debt (could be closer to 9-10% pre-tax).If you have forced appreciation in the house and it will appraise for 135K, you may be able to pull additional equity from the home to pay down (or pay off) your student debt ... effectively transferring your student loan (6.8%) to your mortgage (4.x%?).  

I learned long ago while being a manager in corporate America that people want to earn, not be given things.

Gotta have a cpa review and make the call.But those, to me, are two ways that you can look to reduce your taxes this year.Accelerated depreciation is definitely going to give you a bigger deduction.
