Smart move. documentation is your best friend :)  Stay safe out there.

Maximizing cashflow becomes a strategy choice that accounts for your market and tenants.

First of all, thank you for being the person who is smart enough to know they can't just get into wholesaling to start with no capital.

@Chris Seveney Hey Chris, Thanks for sharing your perspective, it’s a smart, long-term approach.

You can do a duplex though, which might not be a bad idea.With your credit score, conventional might be a good choice, you only need 5% down for 2-4 units if you live in one.
