You could structure a win-win situation where Investor A (the seller) gets his proceeds to cover the work on the remaining properties, while holding the note for you.

The only way you can break that log jam right now is severely lowered fed rates, but the level of federal debt is such that they're in a no-win situation because there's going to be little appetite these days for buying 1% fed notes from overseas.The fed rates were kept too low for too long.

Something to note is that you and your immediate family be able to use these properties personally in any way and you should have a 3rd party property manager.

I’ll try to answer some of your questionsonce a note has matured the note holder has the legal right to call the note due - with proper notification to the debtor.  

Duly noted, thank you!

also noting most people arent' aware but the credit score run by a mortgage lender and say a general lender like a bank are actually going to be different scores (and likely slightly different ranges) - with some greater weights on mortgage debt for the mortgage lender Credit Bureau settings

I agree with @Chris Seveney that a performing note would be a very good starting point.

Even when wholesalers “kinda’ admit to the seller that they are going to “wholesale” the property, they still tend to mislead the seller by talking about “financing partners”, “equity positions”, “mentors” “membership” etc.So, various states have, under the banner of consumer protection, enacted legislation to restrict the use of the “wholesale” transaction in RESIDENTIAL OWNER OCCUPIED real estate - note, not commercial property and not residential when the transaction is between 2 investors. 

The increase in vacancies can be attributed to the addition of new properties to the market and higher than usual vacancy rates in older properties.https://www.socalrha.org/news/2024-vacancy-and-rental-rate-s...Note LL, location, and property all have an impact on actual vacancy.
