I do have a third method being cash out refi the property that was renovated, however I am a bit hesitant on this one because I do want to wait another 2 years for a shopping center to be built to be able to get a better appraisal.I'm sure for people who have been in the game for a while, something like this has occurred before.

It looks like the inventory is mostly online comics, online games, manga, etc.

It helps to be familiar with vendors too, my rule, ignore small unknown sources for maintenance receipts/charges as many play games, larger reputable companies will have more standardized pricing.If you can determine vacancies from lease files, good, but still be careful for leases that can't be verified by lease receipts/deposits.

As to education, what you pick up might be how to deal, you aren't really learning the game because they don't teach the basics of the game, what the rules are or usual and customary aspects of real estate, so much.

I spent 5 years in the wholesale game and now just represent my clients.

For starters I don't have much Capitol but I am looking at ways to get Capitol, that is why I am looking to wholesale but that isn't the end game.

You don't have to hit home runs, just get in the game. 

I once went to camp and had a 3 guys ask "what's your favorite video game".

The best way to do that is to establish a baseline to gauge off of. 

I was wondering how could I get in to the real estate game.
