Once you find a deal, run numbers and lay out the project in your head; don't worry about the things you do not know, focus on the things you do know. 

I can tell you 100 percent that I never have and never would buy a deal from an internet wholesaler who didn't walk the property, know their rehab numbers, and the local ARV.

I've gotten inquiries lately from folks 1) looking for desks to work on, and 2) wanting to be sure the Internet is suitable for working and schooling.

I just can’t shake the feeling that there is a play here for a break into real estate with maybe an owner-occupy purchase of a small multi-family before we layout a larger sum of money for our dream home.

If you don't have room for a 60" and can't/don't want to change the layout of the bathroom, I would get a shower pan and do some nice wall tile.

I scoured this website and the internet with little luck on specificities.

All utilities (gas, water, sewer, phone, electric, even fiber internet) are on the property but not connected yet. 

Maybe a weird crowded layout with a closed off kitchen and dining room that you can knock down the wall and create an open space layout?

Real Estate Disruptors podcast by Steve Trang focuses on wholesaling specifically and brings on a ton of the big name guys in wholesaling, and they lay out strategies and tons of jewels.

I recently (sold in June) completed a not total gut, but barely a step away, with all new mechanicals, moved walls, changed kitchen and bath layouts as well as added a bath.
