One of my options is to sell and utilize the profits to begin my investing journey.

By getting your license you will be able to help 100% of the leads you generate.2)    You can represent buyers.

Take wholesaling for example...no one heard of it during it's most profitable years after the credit crisis. 

Nonetheless, even with their long experience, they often barely make a profit, which they say they don't mind - because their goal is to gentrify the whole neighborhood, one property at a time.

What profit margin is common? 

If you have ever purchased an investment property from a family member (or friend) or structured some sort of profit sharing arrangement I’d love to hear about it.

Figure another $1000 if cash, significantly more if a loan.Subtract the $25,000 rehab.Then subtract the $160k purchase.Looks like $21,000 or so in profit.

As long as I make a profit, I’ll be fine.
