Some people just send a text, or just flat out chock it up to they just weren't that interested.

I was looking for my first investment property to be a two flat and I was considering to go the FHA route for that.

Here in Texas we have a bunch of online brokers who will charge you a flat monthly fee (usually somewhere in the $90) range, and then they'll either charge a split or a flat transaction fee ($200-$300) whenever you buy or sell a home.

What would you all recommend to be a good route to go for our first deal, Wholesale a property, go through private investor/lenders for potential flip of a property, or going through the bank getting a FHA loan and renting out a home or two flat?

I use a flat-fee MLS service. 

My experience with roof coverage claims, (unless catastrophic) has been difficult if not impossible.We had a mixed use commercial property where the carrier dropped us for a 'potential' roof leak...it had a flat roof on the large warehouse portion, hence prone to leaks!!! 

That just adds one more complexity to the deal, however, and in a competitive acquisition environment you probably wouldn't be picked as the buyer if you asked for the seller to carry unless the property was tough for the seller to sell such as a Class D with a flat roof.For me, if I see an assumption deal I typically just kick it off my list which explains why I haven't done one. 

I really want to do a 2 or 3 flat as my first deal but as I haven't gotten my feet wet yet I find it hard to dive right into that.

I like beenverified.com for background checks on a monthly flat fee, but no credit check.
