Some brokers (like this one) work with 220+ lenders.

You said that you are applying for an FHA loan so it sounds as though you'd be living in one unit. 

The property, though is not beach front, nor does it has ocean view, is just a short drive from some of the best beaches in the west, which are great for surfing, snorkeling, SCUBA diving.In the 1.21 acres there is a main single family home (4 br) which was divided in two sections one of which is being rented.

Portland has one to the Lloyd center once the largest now basically defunct. 

One of them is in TX, another one in MA and I am not sure about the remaining. 

Thank you once again and have a wonderful evening, I cannot wait to network and to help each other one way or another. 

So, Anca, your parents can 1031 from one property into more than one. 

The successful wholesalers are the ones that are direct with the seller and have done an analysis on the deal to show it can be a successful investment (always double check with your own)totally agree, I would add the don't act sketchy and present their available homes in a consistent/professional manner to buyers. 

If you want to buy your first property ASAP, house hacking (duplex, triplex, or renting extra rooms) is one of the best ways to start with a low down payment while learning property management.

@Allende Hernandez what happens if one or more occupants move out and the others stay?
