However, there are some opportunities down the road a year or two where they can then convert the property from investment into their primary residence.  

You never no when a great opportunity will pop up and you'll wish you had the license, plus you get MLS access.  

I want to learn learn about the different opportunities there are in real estate investing and identify strategies that work best for me.  

I've recently come across an opportunity to acquire a property via seller financing.

I was thinking it would be wise to keep my payment as low as possible, but this seems like an opportunity to borrow at a low rate.I am trying to grow my portfolio quickly and I do have another purchase lined up.

I am new to real estate investing and looking for opportunities and insight on how to break into the market.

At least once a month which will establish you as the expert in the area.1) Figure out total budget for direct mail campaign2) Figure out how many pieces you can mail for that budget3) Divide that number by 12 to figure out how many cards per mailing you can mail4) Find target market area with turnover opportunity.

But honestly  - and No disrespect intended here, Wholesaling is the last thing you want to be doing right now ....

Looking for good opportunities in New Hampshire (Nashua area) or eastern Massachusetts.

If you intend to live there for 10-20 years, it makes sens to buy over renting in most of the cases.Also I would talk to a lender to see how the primary residence will affect your ability to borrow later when you decide to buy investment properties.
