Wholesaling profits will definitely be put towards my first investment. 

You definitely came to the right platform.

Thanks Derek for the advice that's really helpful, and yes as soon as she told me I shared my condolences and did ask a little bit about the situation but I didn't want to dig down too much to the point where it may be too personal for her to talk about to a stranger.I definitely like the part of continuously following up with her and building a relationship, that makes sense and once she is ready to sell then I think I will have a leg up on others.So my next step is to find out the ARV of the property through comps and like you said try to figure out how much repair cost it needs then make an offer.

SFH is more doable although you will definitely have to look for a bit and put in a lot of offers before finding one.

I agree with Levi, you have to get out there and do your own market analysis...and you will definitely get a feel for the area.

Definitely would love to provide free labor in an effort to learn about the rehabbing process.

I definitely want to begin with rental property and move forward with flipping. 

Definitely the rates is going to change.  

Definitely need to get together

Just FYI though if the unit you are looking at are 5+ they will be a definite commercial loan.
