Visiting the property in person is beneficial too, as it helps you understand the flow of the house and assess how well it can be marketed later on.For turnkey properties updated by previous owners who lived there can be a good buy.

Quote from @Joe Mills: You are exempt if you meet one of the following requirements:Owner-occupied buildings Properties with four units or fewer that are owned and lived in by the ownerSingle-family homes Homes that are sold or rented without a broker by the owner, as long as the owner doesn't own more than three at onceIf those don't apply, then you must abide by Fair Housing and you must make reasonable accommodations for people with assistance animals.

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 best part is you can do it with very little money down using owner occupied loans. 

My opinion is you’re jumping the gun even worrying about it if it’s only been a week.
