Specifically, I am looking for a duplex or triplex to live in and rent out the other unit(s) and begin to “house hack.”The good news is that I quality for a great first time home buyer conventional loan to buy a multi-family property with 5% down.

Hi my wife and I recently bought a house in Cleveland, Ohio to to renovate and sell to an investor or cash buyer.

Any advice on the best practices on building my list of investors/buyers before finding my first property?

I don't do luxury homes, I don't do BPOs, I don't focus on fix and flips, I don't market to first time home buyers, I don't focus on sellers wanting to sell a home.

So I would hold title as the buyer and she would essentially have equitable title or the equivalent of a 1st lien.

Their real value as I see it is their likely buyers list, funding sources, and networking capabilities.

At that point, if one of the investment property owners decided to sell would prospective buyers (assuming the prospective buyer would live in the unit) qualify for a warrantable loan? 

Another scenario is if I buy a property from a wholesaler who wants me to pay all of the closing costs, what would those be based on the logic that in this case im paying both the buyers and sellers closing costs.I have purchased a few houses and I have read a few books on flipping and wholesaling, Im just having trouble understanding what values to put in the calculators to determine my Maximum offer amount. 

Later that year, I attempted finding deals through a realtor friend on the MLS to fix and flip, and ultimately decided it was not the right time to be flipping, but in reality I just was undereducated and underprepared on how to find deals and the possibilities of different types of deals.I'm going to work on networking with cash buyers and build my first marketing campaign and get some deals under contract!  

People are always in some sort of circumstances that have a financial factor and a wholesale buyer can bring a solution swiftly.
