I am not a wholesaler, nor do I ever intend/want to be; but I see your posts about wholesalers quite frequently and I'm very interested in hearing your thoughts on the matter. 

A 1-4 unit property is considered a residential property and, if you would be financing the purchase by placing a mortgage, you would be dealing with the residential lending arm of the organisation (bank, trust, credit union) lending on the purchase.Purchasing a mult-unit property (5+ units) is considered a commercial transaction and financing would generally be through the commercial lending practice of organisation.There is a catch here that small multi-unit properties (say 5 - 10 units) are frequently low enough in acquisition cost that a commercial lender will see the deal as being too small to be of interest.

These units are being managed by property management, but i would like your take on whether or not it is a good idea to check and communicate frequently personally with my tenants.I had both good and bad experience, some tenants tends to complain more about various issues after i visit them and walk the unit.

So I have an Agent I've been working with to run comps for me, interesting thing is her comps frequently put the property 20-30k above my ARV's everytime, just like wholesalers I see out there who are trying to misslead people.For example she recently sent me comps of a property that had an average ARV around 140k, the problem is every property on her list had nearly double the square footage, so these aren't even accurate comps at all.I use a program that allows me to search the MLS and runs comps for me and I feel like I'm pretty thorough in keeping square footage within a couple hundred feet, bedrooms and baths nearly identical and factoring in certain amenities like pools,garages ect ect.Do you feel like this Agent simply doesn't know what she's doing?

I drove this stretch twice a day for seven years, ate lunch countless times at the intersection mentioned above, and shopped frequently at the Staples that used to be right across the street.

@Alex Huang This topic comes frequently and I think as most things it helps to start with why.

They deliver water to the property and bill the property owner, it is really none of their business if you sub-meter internally.Now, they may say you are "reselling" the utility and make a fuss ... where utilities are legislated monopolies resale is frequently prohibited/restricted.

What I frequently observe are hard money lenders or mortgage brokers, or a combination thereof saying, "we lend our own money!"...

When I enter a post and then subsequently hit the back arrow on my browser, it frequently takes me to old posts. 

Many also frequent some of the local investing clubs.
