Check in with @Joseph Chiofalo for some construction financing options.

The most surprising thing about this little pocket or north Carroll Park is the DOM, the average DOM for out closed comps are 9 days.

The first thing you should focus on is education, the Bigger Pockets Podcast is extremely informative, I would attune to that and read some of the books they recommend.

@Nathan FrostGet out there and find good pockets in areas that are being overlooked.

I have been a part of the bigger pockets community since I graduated college and have learned a lot but I have the biggest case of analysis paralysis!

Lots of other EP options for building the box are available now.  

This might entail buying a single-family home with rental potential and living in one area while renting out the other units, or it could entail buying a multifamily property and living in one apartment while renting out the others.Financing Options: Look into traditional mortgages, FHA loans (for home hacking), and other inventive financing techniques.

For example, if it was a ten year lease starting in 2017, then you would need to honor it through 2027 - if there was also tenant options to renew then those also would need to be required to be honored.

I Work for a multifamily brokerage and so I am often on bigger pockets learning the industry.

People getting wise to wholesalers that will only close IF they can sell property for more than contract price, and use option period or weasel clause to terminate.
