Here's my question, and it applies to both of the questions/choices:  Why does it have to be a choice between the two? 

The laws are pretty simple so I'm not seeing what you're getting so confused about and I have no idea what other "solution" would be beneficial to anyone.If you want to earn money assisting a seller in selling their property you need to be licensed to do so in all 50 states.If you want to buy a property then resell it later you do not need to be licensed to do so.

I am ready to buy a small multi-family, but I am stuck in a place where I have couple of choices.

There simply was no choice but to jump in and get things up and running as quickly as possible and get the water out ASAP so it didn't do more damage in the hot weather that followed. 

Hi there @Amon Neequaye,All are good choices.

I’m currently been trying to improve my credit due to poor choices in college.

Any time you can get a conventional OO loan that will usually be best, but the other programs have some of their own benefits that make them really beneficial at times.

Any wholesaler in MI looking to mentor would be beneficial as well

Though as an avid mountain biker, I should have made a better choice than living in the flats of the delta!! 

What are you invest in a syndication or fund, which would be my first choice, or go to this alone, I recommend you partner with others since this is a huge effort to undertake on your own.
