We often need to ask the right questions to help determine the best route for each individual.

@Arthur Savery, Many of our clients are taking a similar route. 

Your best route might be to buy a 2 to 4 unit property that you can live in and rent out the additional apartments.

Quote from @Zac Gaetano: Would love to know the legal routes available, I only put in 2,000 but they are simply ignoring my emails at this point. 

Thanks for the feedback—it really makes me step back and think about this whole situation.To answer your question about the hard money loan: I went that route because I needed to close quickly, and hard money was the fastest way to secure the deal.

@Daniel Medellin Regarding your question, it would depend on the lender or bank you're working with if you want to go that route in the future. 

If you decide to go the multifamily route, Real Estate lab .com is a multifamily software for deal analysis plus they have many other useful features. 

If you go this route, consider hiring a trusted property manager local to the area who knows the market well.I have personally owned and managed a multifamily property in Illinois and after selling it I said I would never invest in that state again.

Has anybody gone this route?

Ok Im officially deciding to go down the wholesaling route now I'm currently working for a company locally to wholesale.
