If the deals good enough there's a long list buyers... 

I find that areas in my desired markets zoned for 2-4 flats are being driven up by first-time home buyers looking to be saavy and "house hack".I love the idea, definitely a fan of the theory!!

Does the house REALLY need to be staged or was it rehabbed well enough to get the attention of a buyer as is.Like I said..

Plus you need cash buyers for your deals on your team.

I want to find a buyer first, and then basically flip and assign the tax deed without using my own money.

A smart agent will sign you to a buyer's exclusive agreement so you won't have a bunch of agents showing you and wasting their time and gas. 

The buyers agent we’ve done multiple deals with in the past showed us the all the buildings.

My questions is, as a first time home buyer, what would be the best way to acquire this property?

After you get the first one done, your confidence will help propel you on to the next and you’ll have a little more cash to work with.My biggest challenge has been trying to compete with cash buyers!

His example was if a dealership has a Hyundai and a Bentley, a buyer is not going to expect to get a Bentley for the price of a Hyundai.
