Your best bet is to find and contact all of the top local wholesalers and go to work for one of them and see what they do right and wrong and see if it's even a business you like.

I’m thinking that an SBA loan would be our best bet but I am not sure.

I'd bet most homebuyers have no idea they can flip too...And they certainly aren't privy to the off-market deals that someone like myself is privy to. 

If you want to be mentored your best bet is to go work for a company - most CRE is not a single individual and CRE is fast moving and things happen fast and you can't structure a "follow me to learn" without working for someone 

Looking for free or cheap paperwork online is not the route to take.

Your best bet is a property on water and sewer in a non HOA community and either convert the garage to an ADU or Build a separate ADU .

I bet you would. 

Spend at least 2 hours per day researching online about your desired investment strategies.

Structuring the deal properly (like through a land trust) can reduce this risk.Your best bet is to connect with an Illinois investor who has successfully done sub-to deals or find a local real estate attorney who specializes in creative finance.

Your best bet would be to have a FurnishedFinder account and used their "stats" page.
