If you don’t want to sell theM be sure to exclude them in the contract 

My next question is how do i get it under contract, and how to I assign that contract to an investor/buyer

Hello, i am looking to start wholesaling in my areas ( lehigh valley & berks county  p.a. ) and i would like some help on finding the right closing companies and/ or attorneys who are experienced in assignment agreements, double closings and contracts.

@Jason Gaccione I’m from Queens as well and just put my first two investment properties under contract in Albany.

How long are your contracts?

@Lukas GetterWill you sell on terms ( land contract)

@Kevin O'Brien - You've already done the smart work of making your offer contingent upon them proving that the 3rd unit is a legal dwelling unit so I'm surprised they haven't already. 

If for some reason you really have to get this property, it might be easiest to pursue a master lease with the owner, or a lease purchase, or contract for deed type transaction, and then you can sub-lease the property. 

And then figure in another 10k in closing costs.You don't always have to go the "multi-family" route for a smart first investment either.

You will need smart people to shepherd you through the noise and sharks.
