(I don’t want to give any friend/relative’s address).Thanks for your help! 

I have never been a wholesaler but I work with many wholesalers and are friends with a few wholesaler who run a successful wholesaling team in town so I might fit in the category of "I don't have to have eaten pork to have seen a pig run." 

The place is not housing provider friendly.

There are plenty of wholesalers and agents out there as well, search the for individuals who are actually investors and have first hand experience in what they are selling.

We bought a property out of state and that was extremely difficult to manage even with family and friends that were local and could help.As a property manager, we had an investor bring us 50 properties that he was self-managing.

Will you get more renting as a shared residence - 5 individual tenants vs. a Single Family, vs. a duplex?  

If they were separately metered, each tenant would pay the $116.50 base fees and their individual use, which would be 3x higher than what they pay when sharing a meter.There are many options, but don't make it more complicated than it needs to be.

Flippers, private individuals who want to be a landlord, funds who aggregate homes, people that buy because the house is located in their subdivision, etc. 

One of my best friends is considering buying his house back!

I thought I might house hack, but as I mentioned my area isn't as multi family friendly.
