preferred community bank does portfolio lending but it appears to be mainly owner occupied.

If you are set on a lender, then you have your reasons.I tend to prefer a longer timeline.

I much prefer the second, because if changes my approach and my elevator speach. 

Can anyone recommend a realtor knowledgable in that area that could show me the place, preferably an investor friendly one as it's a bit outside my normal area of focus and I'd want someone who could help with getting a read on the local investment and rental market.

I will always prefer to rent to a family, but Mark is in favor of the single room rentals.  

I'm an out of town REI (california) looking to find a MF (<20 units of 1br/1ba preferred, doesn't have to be individually metered) in San Antonio, TX!!

Each unit has an electric fired on-demand heater to lift the water to its final temperature if necessary ... many times in the simmer, the heaters do not fire at all.Electric is also preferred for point-of-use heaters.  

I made this post mainly to introduce myself but I would also like to ask one question: The branch of Real Estate investing I am currently interested in and would like to get started is in Real Estate Wholesaling or Property Wholesaling (however you would prefer to call it).

Summary: My current single family home in an HOA which I live in has left a bad taste in my mouth.

I don't really expect there to be too many repairs for the FHA loan, if any, if I understand the FHA requirements.We do have a construction company and so should there be any repairs, we would prefer to make any repairs using our company.
