Although I am a REALTOR® and not a wholesaler, I would strongly advise you to talk to everyone you can.

Youtube search "lumberjack landlord 4-3-2-1 house purchase strategy".The realtor who advised against "living with renters", fire him.

I am not an attorney and this is not legal advise, just things I discussed with my attorney. 

Wanted to see there was any advise on building student housing for the college which is near by. 

However, if you are planning on bringing on JV partners or Syndicating a larger asset, you are then becoming a fiduciary of other investors' money; you don't want to take unnecessary risks on upside unless market data supports it.I personally would advise on your underwriting when considering what offer to make you should factor in some vacancy expectations.

What would you advise as the best way to locate the wholesale property?

We were advised not to renovate the upstairs units until after the completion of the foundation.  

You can privately advise me..
