I am in the same boat looking to buy multifmily investment property in North Jersey ideally 10+ units.

No need to rock the boat consolidating and refinancing mortgages or chase a shady partnership. 

Dustin Kooy you may have negotiating power with that many but typically what you’re describing is standard from what I’ve seen.

@Steve Powers Thanks for your response.

When house hacking especially you shouldn't mess with wholesalers, since the power is in the lending opportunity which usually won't work on a wholesale deal.

Do we really have to wait until we start showing a profit on our taxes to be able to use this income toward our purchasing power?

@Courtney Brown what everybody else above said... but I will also add, I respond to messages within minutes of receiving them and being in the mountains, I check the weather and let them know when bad stuff may be coming (i.e. power may go out-plan accordingly, etc. and give them an update on when it should be back on if it does go out).

I'm simply wondering how much bargaining power I have.
