I wonder why MLS is frequently touted as a good place for beginners to find deals, then.

The lease isn't up until May 2019. 

Plus, you'll learn a lot more by going through the renovation and leasing process. 

Is this still considered a wholesale deal and could that situation be handle to make it a wholesale, or, would this be disqualified as a wholesale and qualify as, say, a lease option?

What rules can you put into your lease?

I decided to lease it instead and ended up hitting a home run with a 3 year lease.

Ideally it would be a live-in flip since I am currently renting for another 10 months and I can do most of the work myself...I am analyzing deals so when the time comes I can have something lined up to move into when my lease ends.

@Mendel Robbins yes both tenants are staying for at least the remainder of the lease.

And, try it at one property to A/B test the rents you can get and time to fill those units between lease-ups.I'm mainly in the 2-4 unit space, and Spokane has lots of 100-yr old houses that were split into apartments during the two world wars.

I'm actually thinking about Wholesale Lease Option because i would like a fee out of this but i m not sure how to go about this, i never dealt with a Liquidate before.
