Since you're planning to buy your first multifamily unit, I suggest looking into markets that have great macroeconomics with growing population and jobs just like Columbus OH.

I'm trying to find a title company in Albuquerque new Mexico that has experience with wholesale transactions and are great to work with! 

Great plan.

That's great, because many people never get started at all. 

Total disclosure is essential, however it is often downplayed.Yes, the seller is at great risk.

I was thinking of possibly just doing a camp site set up of some kind.

Showmojo is great too!

I would not do any seller financing or lease to own deals as you don't want to end up with that home all beat up in five years on a default.Sell to cover your investment and if you can squeeze out a little more- great. 

I'm going to be more active with Bigger Pockets, as I see a great future with the Bigger Pockets community.

Stay involved in the renovation process with regular site visits and open communication with contractors to keep close tabs on the project.
