I hope this is a help and if you need any help with financing options feel free to DM me.

Soon I'll be purchasing my first ever investment property (Virginia) (MFH) and I honestly feel like I made a mistake.

Feel free to reach out if you need a brain to pick.

Remember, the notion of amassing wealth without investing is a dangerous myth perpetuated by self-proclaimed experts.

I am trying to find a mentor and I feel like working for a corporate wholesaler might give me the experience I need to turn my little $175,000 chunk into a rental property business one day.

One thing to be aware of is the FHA multifamily self-sufficiency calculation which determines if a property can generate enough rental income to cover its mortgage payments.

Only entertain this if you feel you can perform.A lease option will require a down payment, more than likely, followed by a balloon payment upon a payoff due date.

Please feel free to PM me. 

Finding trademen and contractors is much tougher if you're self-managing.
