@Michelle Wang, I completely understand your frustration, and I want to say that you are not alone in this experience.

It would just need to be a situation where they have great contact with the person doing that managing of the project (I.e. have known the person for years, great reputation, person has experience in flipping etc.).

Hey Bugger Pockets Community,I just finished reading Brandon Turner's book on investing with little to no money down (amazing book btw) and I am interested in knowing what are people's experience with MLO's and seller financing.

Nobody ever went broke over a duplex, I know this now,  but I have to admit I had some serious doubts about this when I started 16 years ago, I bought every course I could find, already on CD's, this was post cassette tapes lol, and I paid RichDad Education for a one year coaching program (turned out my coach was a girl in a call center without any actual experience). 

This approach would allow me to learn with each deal and minimize initial risks.2️⃣ Go Straight to Multifamily: Instead of starting with SFHs, I could spend time learning the multifamily business and go directly for a 20+ unit building, maximizing scalability from the start.I have no experience with either strategy.If you were in my position, which strategy would you choose and why?

I think you have a good plan, BRRRR is still a great route in the current market, and especially for the states you are already in - both Indiana and Georgia are very well positioned for BRRRR deals in my view / experience

Throw your experiences in comments below; I'd love to hear success stories and/or horror stories!

It's the second Wed of every month, a small group of people and variety of investor experience levels.

It depends on the experience they've had.

I like this option better than a Wrap because for me its just easier to understand and navigate, especially if lender calls the loan.With all this being said...I am just looking for those that have direct experience with using Lease to own to get into Multifamily and Apartment building type projects.
