Hopefully you find one sooner but it will frame your expectations the right way to avoid getting discouraged in month 6 especially in a hot investment market like today.Real estate is a long-term wealth game and it pays to be patient.

So I would like to continue on the flip path as well as look into buying and holding multi units (preferably 4 to 8 to start with).

I prefer small multifamily or package of rentals.

I look forward to learning what I can from you all, as well as getting my feet wet in the real estate game.

I know the latter is preferred by most agents, which is why I'm actively looking for a good fit. 

(aka below what on market prices are giving)My question is..Has anyone had any experience doing a direct mailing campaign for a person property (preferably a 2-3 unit) where they used a conventional (or first time home buyers program) to fund the property?

It's my preferred way. but if you feel comfortable with assignments, by all means, go for it

Skin in the game?

At the end of the day, it's all a numbers game.

The goal would be to buy this and live in it for three to four years and then sell, or rent it out preferably (using property management because we plan to move away from Arkansas).
