There really is no information available as of yet, other than an address.

Wholesalers never send them anything because the arguments and debates over cheapest option are exhausting. 

Other apartments in the area rent between 700-975 but are attached to a house. the SFH I'm analyzing is on a .53 acre lot and has a basement. since it is a home rather than an apartment, would it produce more rent than an apartment with similar characteristics?

Buying and managing a multi family isn't more difficult than an SFH, it can actually be easier since you have that whole economy of scale idea working for you.Best of luck in your search.

It gets exhausting getting taken by contractors all the time, so I want that go-to guy I can count on and trust.Any referrals would be great! 

If this house was less than an hour from his house it seems very likely he would have lost much less than he is going to on this deal. 

The caveat I have about that is: what INTEREST RATE would you be paying on an Investment Loan, rather than an FHA (or other) Owner-Occupier Loan?

Exhaust all your resources before you make that decision. good luck

Sure this is still better than an individual tax benefits but even if i told him about the subsidiaries companies, still no.Are you guys facing the same less tax benefit issues here, or am i missing something that can max my tax deduction here? 

and exhausting lol
