Check in with @Joseph Chiofalo for what is referred to as a 'Foreign national' mortgage. 

I’ve only sold 2 personal residences and I sold them both myself.

The conversation that I'm speaking on was moreso referring to developers needing some type of license if they were not using a GC on their project.

Personally prefer SFR..Not sure about DFW but do have a realtor reference for you..be sure to budget for furniture and furnishings if not sold turn-key..a seller concession is a great way to preserve capital for MTR or STR's..check in with @Joseph Chiofalo for an investor friendly lender..he's excellent at helping structure loan programs for investments.

I have made some real estate investments personally, small.

here's what i personally am doing.  2 things.1. i will BRRRR something that breaks even on rent IF i can force a huge gain in equity.  2. i'm looking for seller finance deals. 

I wouldn't waste my money on that personally.

It would be impossible to be a reputable wholesale given that what's referred to as wholesaling these days is illegal brokering.

Also, I'm not sure what the zoning would allow you to do.As a side note, a touch of personal opinion still, which is shared by many people I know and which doesn't directly affect the discussion.
