Back to your question though, most beach properties are desirable, but you're going to need better insurance - hurricane season is almost here - and you're going to have to pay more for the property itself.When you're looking at multi-family properties, you should be able to find some with at least partial seller financing, so you won't have to tie up as much of your credit and won't have to buy a property all for cash.

I have ~$150k tied up in this that I'd like to use for buy and hold residential but it feels like I'm trapped.Anyone have any creative solutions to end my pain on this one?

sounds like the wholesaler got a smoking deal when they tied it up... see if they own it or just trying to flip it.

This will force you to consider financing costs and allow you to scale up once you have all your seed money tied up in real estate.

I am in your shoes as far as finances and I am starting slow as well.

I'm new as well and I'm pretty much in the same shoes as you are.

If you were standing in my shoes today, what would you do in this situation?

Plus, even though residency for city workers was abolished by state legislature a year or two back, I think its still tied up in court since MKE sued and almost certainly will eventually lose from everything I've heard, but for now residency is still 100% in effect, so these workers are protecting THEIR CITY!

What I want to avoid is being tied to one wholesaler.
