I recommend this order:Market knowledgeExperienceSpecializationAs you learn about your market, the individual properties, neighborhoods, or property types will dictate how you approach them as an investor.  

Or will commercial lenders talk to me as an individual?

Normally, the one with higher hourly requirement will determine if you meet the individual state requirement.Example I needed 99 hours.

Is it better to create individual llcs for properties or have all of them under one llc?

So here is my question. with all that being said, How can an individual wholesale a property?

Individuals looking for returns on their personal assets (with or without real estate background) and institutional hard money that a broker loans for an investor or a pool.The latter usually have predetermined products which the loan must conform to (i.e. 65% LTV of the lesser of purchase or appraised value) and are brokered through mortgage lenders to conform to securities regulations.You should be looking for a smaller private lender for your situation.  

His current employer (who is aware of the full situation) is also a landlord so he understands the concerns I might have and spoke very highly of this individual.
