Would love for you to share how you developed your mentality towards wholesalers.

Now I am questioning if the waiting it out till exhaust the HAMP is worth it?

It is basically just commentary on the herd mentality.

Yes, an exhaustive knowledge would be nice, but I was hoping that's what a professional forum like this could help me with.I don't feel it's fair to tell a person to exit the stage just because they're not 100% educated. 

Section 8 seems to have a certain connotation and mental image in multi family conversations.

My recommendation is to exhaust your 10 residential mortgages then once you get past that start buying commercial properties using an LLC to take title.

It would exhaust a material portion of my own liquidity for the money down and closing/inspection costs, but I'd have a much more affordable loan than HML and this 2-stage approach seems simplest to me. 

Most get to 13-mile (in marathon speak) exhaustion/frustration and start painting over mold or putting too much on an electrical circuit.   

I just wanted to make sure that I'd exhausted the more conventional or known paths to coming up with a down payment for an investment that size.

I think you will be successful based on your status and mentality!
