I spent the time trying to point out the things that make life worth living. 

So is it worth even trying to get into wholesaling in the first place?

basement rents for 1200/mo. upstairs rents for 1800/mo. mortgage is 175k and house is worth minimum 450k.

A house is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

I've already got a good idea of my home's worth and am not concerned with the valuation part of it. 

If I was hung up on what it was worth a few years earlier at the bottom I wouldn't have locked in what in hindsight was a great deal.But as you said, in today's Orlando market, the majority of properties are more probable just to break even (or slightly negative). 

In terms of deciding whether a building is worth buying, it matters absolutely none at all whether you'll be utilizing commercial financing or residential.

If the idea of doing that keeps you up at night, then it's not worth it!

This is my experience from Hurricane Katrina now 13 years ago:Properties in nice neighborhoods were available at hurricane sale prices for cash buyers.Fairly extensive rehab was required but 13 years later those properties are now worth 2 - 3 times purchase + rehab price.Not a get rich quick scheme but for those with cash and patience it was a once in a lifetime (we hope) opportunity.
