The only real advantage to using an FHA loan is to offer only 3.5% down payment, which in my opinion is barely justified as an advantage. 

Also, living in a better area of NB is still much cheaper than the rent in the suburban towns that surround NB which will always be an advantage of owning there.

I saw zero advantage (perhaps negative) in Furnished Finder being in the middle.

Not looking forward to losses, just meant in the sense that I have a new STR and will expect to incur losses in year 1 and this is advantageous from a tax perspective in a sense.

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

What are the advantageous of wholesaler vs Listing Agent?

So, in your considerations, I would park right there for a bit and determine how this would look for you.Since you have about 2.5 years to think about it before you would need to spring into action to take advantage of the rollover for tax advantages, maybe you try on a rental and see how it fits. 

Or are the advantages too significant to pass up?

Hopefully, you can meet genuine people that want you to succeed and will assist you in your endeavors without trying to take advantage of you.
