Ideally I would be saving diligently by changing my lifestyle to achieve the savings needed for a DP on the more expensive home with everything you need.

I wanted opinions from wholesalers or people who agree that it isn't an ideal way of starting up.

Ideally you offer 2 or 3 yrs depending on your circumstances with an option to have a one time 6 or 12 month extension.

So a HELOC I don't believe is not ideal.

Ideal central location (with new Class-A all around), very nice neighborhood, good bones, easy conversion from 2/2 to 3/2 units, good rent comps, high potential rent increases through capital improvements, no title issues or liens conveying clean title and warranty deed, well-liked long term month-to-month tenants paying well-below market rents.  

Ideally I wouldn't have to live there, but it seems like the quickest way for me to get into the game.Where do people go to find an apartment in your town?

Ideally duplexes, triplexes and overall multi-family housing.Thank you,

Yeah, well some of us would rather do a little work and do it right rather than schedule, wait, correct , then stroke a huge check for the privilege.

Meaning, in your ideal situation, what would that agent do for you, specifically?

I would sell when I moved and have more cash available to begin putting into buy and hold properties in NC. or B: A MFH which would allow me to accumulate more savings to invest upon moving, as ideally it would allow for my self to live rent-free or close to it.
