My focus is primarily going to be to buy, renovate, and flip (possibly in the Metairie/Kenner location) to start out.

When wholesaling, it would be important to disclose to the seller that you are a real estate agent, but in this particular case you are not acting as an agent, but as a principal, operating solely in your own best interest, with no agency duty owed the seller.if the seller, their attorney, the real estate commission, etc. is able, after the fact, to make the case that in your wholesaling activity you were not a principal, but an intermediary, then you would be potentially subject to fine, license suspension or revocation, liability for seller's lost income, and possibly treble damages for deceptive trade practices.  

It seems like there are multiple military bases which is a good possibility for rental market, but just want to hear from the folks on the ground of how easy it is to find renters, and what area I should be looking at.

Possibly the need for a property manager, HOA...the headaches would be larger. 

The key is scale up using as little of your own funds as possible.

You need to start looking at as many deals as possible and analyzing them.

I would love to get comments on whether this is possible or get suggestions on how I may do this

Is it possible to get 1 loan for all 6? 

If possible, I will also be renting out the extra bedroom (if there is one) in the unit I will be occupying.My questions: To learn the ways of land lording, does anyone suggest doing a du-, tri-, or quad-plex over the other?

Future Goals- not necessarily to bring on as many properties as possible.
