Is any one pursuing this oppurtunity?

(Will be pursuing more.)

I am interested in pursuing the BRRRR strategy on our way to becoming financially free.

Networking commercial brokers is a strategy I'm going to pursue.

I ran a multi million dollar health club in Irvine, Orange County but felt I never had time to pursue my real estate dream, needing to be at work for over 55 hours a week most weeks.

I'm a beginner cash buyer, with no deals under my belt, and looking to connect and work with established wholesalers in my area to pursue my buy and hold goals, but why would any established wholesaler want to work with a beginner who maybe a bit gun shy on their first deal?

I've heard of a couple 5% down options with PMI which drops off after about 7 years (as opposed to FHA insurance which never drops off).I really want to pursue these duplexes, but I want to be 100% sure that I can move forward with a multi-family purchase with 5% down or less immediately after.

If you just take a step back and look at the numbers, you will see the time it will take to return all these upfront fees is much more than pursuing other avenues.  

If I should be pursuing conventional financing, where's the best place to start the conversation?
