You might consider starting smaller as well.My wife and I fully intend to invest in multifamilies, from duplex's to apts.We are doing it primarily by house hacking our first one, and buying a duplex.You have plenty to get started in the direction you want to go.If that's just not the way you want then I would follow @Brian Gibbons advice and study up.Above all be patient, and when the right deal hits, don't be afraid to move on it

At that point, it would be up to the owner to wait for a better applicant (which can certainly happen if you are patient) or go with what is slightly higher then avg for the area.  

Honestly, it seems like I need the discipline and patients the 7yr plan requires. 

Analyze deals weekly and make offers that work for you...then be patient but consistent.

Mostly to patients at the local hospital or traveling nurses ect.

In this low inventory market, one simply has to stay patient and disciplined with your own investing strategy.

You may find a group of doctors to turn the place into an out patient medical facility as well.Another use is to lease to a parent non-profit that in turn sub-lets to other non profits, you'll find that many organizations work together and for a client to qualify for benefits and services, there is an application process.

Try to be patient and consistent.  

So needles to say, my capital is a little tight at the moment.Based on my research of the wholesale market, I realize that it is not a quick and easy way to get started; but I am more than willing to be patient and put together a great process in order to be successful.

The seller was patient and gave additional two weeks for the loan approval.
