It turns into, however, a 15 second description of what I do, which is truthfully more than just wholesaling if our customers need the help or HML.So, is there another term that we can use to describe a pro wholesaler who does it full-time because they prefer to wholesale instead of rehabbing themselves?  

My preference is to acquire value add multi family properties for long-term cash flow in the metro New Haven area.Currently, I'm doing the groundwork for my first deal, I.e. talking to lenders, viewing properties and also looking for partners.

Toss up, depends on how you prefer to deal with rules. 

I would prefer to be close to the beach.

The most "classic" and affordable are single family homes but some investors prefer the "2-for-1" duplex option for first time investing.If (1) You're able to move, and (2) you want to be creative with your financing, I purchased a duplex (my first investment property) and did 5% down FHA loan.

Is there a preferred way to structure a deal like this?

eh, not really, I'd prefer they spend their dev time on a more robust iPhone app.

I don't have an exact preference of area, just looking for the best opportunities & deals available in the metro area ultimately.

There are lots of different ways to go and I find that most investors I work with have a preference that excites them and also balances their comfort level. 

It's a crazy market, I'd prefer to wait until the market gets better to buy, but I really want to get out of my expensive apartment and start working on the real estate investment plan to financial freedom :-).
