I called a friend of mine who has access to the MLS and he said there's been a lot of transactions with the property over the last year.

Mortgage Brokers also have access to hard money lenders and may be able to tap into those resources as well and may be able to help you identify a few hard money lenders that you can contact.5.REIA – Your local real estate investment association (REIA) is an excellent place to grow your real estate investing business.

I have talked with the local hoisin authority in my area and the have a large shortage of handicap accessible homes.

Secondly, would it be smarter to start with one property and expand from there, or could I do for example three properties at first?

You are still able to access the money on the cards like a LOC but it is a little more complicated.

I see that you said you have access to the MLS.

I wanted to have all the tools agents have at their disposal (mostly MLS and lock-box access, handling of contracts, etc.)

So, how do I expand on the subject to properly tell the story correctly?

I've also found out there is a REI group that meets in Brookfield, which could be a good way to expand your local knowledge base and meet others who are already doing it.

If you have MLS access you can look at data that way too.
