Anyway, as I am actively searching for and applying for new positions, I am and always have been interested in wholesaling as a way to supplement income.What are some tips, pointers and or resources I can use to help me get the ball rolling?

Some grew up in real estate, some worked in construction which translated quite well to rehabbing, others came from a finance background and can feel comfortable working the numbers.I'd say hedge your bets and find a way to add/supplement what your currently doing with real estate.

Not having a job and supplemental income source or cash buffer torpedoes your pillar to negotiate.

Their is no reason to justify supplementing any tenants rent.Tell your tenant rent is rising to $550 in 60 days (assuming you are in a legal position to do so).

Currently I work in retail management in the supplement industry.

Place looks great @Brian Pulaski, congrats on the flip, hard work but works out to be a nice supplement. 20hrs / week for 5 months puts you at 400yrs, 40k profit get you $100/hr, not a bad part time job!

I am now thinking of getting my RE license to help supplement my marketing because I friends and family know I know what I am talking about so they ask me questions and then go buy from a realtor.

I am the executor of the estate and my brothers agreed to let me buy them out on the house so i can use it as a rental property to supplement my retirement.

I would recommend that you utilize your father knowledge with his knowledge of the local market and use BP to supplement that knowledge. 

I have helped thousands of RE investors clients get business credit for RE investing since it's a great option for people looking to get started in RE, it's also great supplement for the seasoned investor looking to do more deals.
