@Faaz HafidI am actually expanding to the MA market and under contract on a duplex in that same street.Did you end up buying this property?  

I also have a degree in Business Administration with a major in marketing and minor in management.Hoping to start in furnished rentals in the Fort Lee area of VA for military students.

As it turns out, the profits are nearly identical.Off market is just a marketing term, most of the wholesale properties are very much ON Market, just not on the MLS perhaps, unless they were bought off MLS. 

@Keaton VolsTo expand your real estate portfolio and achieve financial growth, consider refinancing your property, saving for a down payment, implementing house hacking, partnering, exploring markets, building a network, educating yourself, diversifying into alternative investments, maximizing tax benefits, and maintaining an emergency fund.

I recently closed on a contract on a half duplex in a solid appreciating market.

What duties do you think they best serve investors or in the real estate market?

At this time, we do not allow builders to market any more ground up construction projects (pre-construction) as we have been made aware that there are significant delays in the construction industry.
