I would ideally apply that strategy to single-family homes to start, then transition to multi-family properties.

Remember, REI is the easy way to riches.I'm sure there's options I haven't even thought of, much less considered.all cash

Is it possible or a good ideal to wholesale properties that are currently listed with a real estate agent?

Last I remembered was a 90 day title req...

I started off with them initially (Subject to existing financing) and do not remember what made me move out of that area of investment.

You have to remember in this great country of ours, people can make idiot investments all day long.

Also, remember if it's not written, it's not a goal.

I mean...with 2-4 properties I think it's manageble....but how do I deal with this risk ?

Remember that anything in real estate is negotiable.

You also have to remember if you invest in an area where there is growth/demand, then the cap rates tend to go down hence raising the value of your property.Can anyone else chime in on this?
