Nor would I be able to pay all-cash.2) Lack of ability to pay all-cash on a property would prevent me from purchasing from a wholesaler.So, does this mean that in order to get started I should be working with an agent going through MLS or as a first-time purchase is it feasible to still work with a wholesaler to get an off-market deal. 

Where a tenant is evicted for owner occupancy after December 18, 1998, that unit is designated as the owner's unit for purposes of subsequent owner-occupancy evictions, unless the owner's disability or other similar hardship prevents occupancy of that unit.Tenants who are 60 years old or who meet the disability guidelines for federal Supplemental Security Income and who have lived in the unit at least 10 years, or tenants who are catastrophically ill and who have lived in the unit for at least 5 years, have a protected status and cannot be evicted for either the owner or the owner's relative to move into a building of 2 units or more.
