Dean,I have lenders that I deal with on a regular basis that may be able to help. 

I guess I'm trying to find a good option to take money out of the investment property without having to wait 1 year, to grow my portfolio more quickly, ideally.  

Having a tenant in place isn't ideal but even if you could make the bare minimum of $5k or something that is still a win, especially if it's your first wholesale deal. 

I'm originally from Utah, and I feel that because I'm the most familiar with that area, that purchasing a property there first would be ideal.

Flipping houses seems ideal since I worked in home improvements for 5 years, including owning a construction company as a general contractor at one point.I never initially invested in a multifamily because, in my area, they are all in bad areas.

Find a good builder (ideally a referral from someone you trust) and have them take you through what they anticipate the costs to build your 4-plex to be.

Hello all, I'm new to the forum but have listened to multiple podcasts and youtube videos.

It's a mix of on demand videos, live Q&A sessions, and a step-by-step curriculum to help you get your first deal.

I'm aiming for a duplex, tri-plex, or four-plex, ideally within the next 6-8 months.
