I work downtown NYC in the Financial District and I am leaning towards buying a multifamily home in North Jersey. 

I am leaning toward starting with single family rental houses and moving up to multi-family from there.

But I'm leaning towards wholesaling.  

Hello everyone I'm fairly new in real estate investing,my wife and I attended one of does 3 days seminar with legacy education and we are correctly both leaning the basic of investing in real state, I was reading an article on investing and some of the comments was very positive about Bigger Pockets and their free beginners investors programs, I'm hoping to find information and helpful tips that will enhance my knowledge and better understanding of the business, so that I can grow and contribute with the growing support of investors worldwide... thank you everyone in advance for all the great information you are providing throughout this media.

I am interested in learning about all aspects of investing, but I am currently leaning towards buy and hold investing (especially BRRRR) for multifamily properties. 

Would possibly consider 2-4plex if location was in spot convenient to locations near family.

I'd like to have more capital to work with for future deals so I'm leaning towards a flip (I also teach school and could do a significant portion of the work myself this summer) but am unsure if it may be more beneficial to sell the soon-to-be rental that won't likely be quite as profitable and use that money for a flip (I wouldn't meet my summer flip timeline then), get conventional financing, or use some other type of financing.  

BP has a great networking community and also has free learning materials at your convenience.

Another issue is possession or the use of the property, if the buyer enjoys the use under an option, your intent leans toward a purchase.The payment issues are applicable to the financing contract issues, creating a financing agreement with payments toward the purchase price.You can generally have a financing option contract when dealing in commercial property or property that is not to be utilized as a residence financing to an occupant, you can violate federal law at that point. 

Flipping has more risk, so I would lean toward focusing on your agency to build up your capital.
