Wholesaling can work in basically any market, however the methods used may differ.

They may use different methods to establish value based on market, conditions, and availability. 

Ask your agent about the feasibility of marketing to businesses that may be moving employees around or need short-term residence for visiting executives.From your post it does not sound as if methods such as lease option or out-and-out rental would work as you want to free up your money. 

I was charged $.54 last time I used this method.

As someone who did the Dave Ramsey method for many years, I want to say that one size does not fit all.

In the hotel business, the rehab and sell method has been around for ages, but the difference is that it takes years.

(They are doing the BRRRR method it appears).  

One of the positive side effects of having a banking system dominated by 5 players with coast to coast coverage of Canada is that we have had universal, simple and affordable electronic payment methods for 20years ... tenants have had the ability to pay rent via e-mail for over a decade.While we still accept post-dated cheques and cash payments for rent, we have begun to charge extra for those methods of payment (because the bank charges us extra to process them).  

Ive just been researching any and all methods, and applying them to fit our current situations.

Where we do survey always is when I was in the Timber business.. we always ran cut lines.. the old method was to use BLAZE's .. but you cut a tree that's not yours and its triple stumpage and if its federal timber its a federal bust... many a logger have seen jail time for stealing FED timber.
