Your best bet if you want to wholesale (I don't know why anyone would) is to find a high volume local wholesaler and work for them for a while before going out on your own.Hello Jonathan,I appreciate your perspective, and I wanted to share more about my situation.

Good job saving yourself hundreds with a single phone call!

Just a little background: I am still a senior in college, and I own a single family rental that I house-hacked last year.

Development projects can vary from a 1-lot Single Family home to 20-acre subdivision, to a 4-acre commercial site, etc. 

Purchase price: $219,000 Cash invested: $63,275 Buy and hold single family residence using a 203K loan What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

For dining chairs, web restaurant store has some really nice fully welded metal chairs that are a single piece aside from the seat and back panels.

Assuming it will be Single Member LLC (you as a member/manager), it will come back on your schedule E anyway, so only thing you loose is $800 in california and bit more of paperwork but that preps you for future.Note - this is a very high level advise and mostly a personal preference. 

Those markets offer affordable entry points into duplexes or single-family rentals that can generate positive cash flow.

Yes you need 5 people per bedroom. 1 single person short and the Sheriff will simply leave and you have to start all over again.

That cost would have been the same whether it was a single family home or a triplex.
