The main thing I don't see is any monthly budget for repairs or CapEx on your report. 

Hi All, I learned about a great new loan program today from a local lender. The lender is offering 20% down loans for 2-4 unit non-owner occupied investment properties. Please let me know if you have any questions. 

The main thing you need to focus on is converting leads to clients.

So, I am mainly interested in long-term holds on SFR's and multi's but I am trying to learn about flipping and wholesaling as well because I didn't choose my current career field for what it pays, and making some money on the side would be nice.

The entity type is up to you and your legal and tax advisors but the main reason is to keep all assets separate from each other and from you so that the one does not affect the whole if something goes wrong.

My goal was to buy single family homes in distressed properties ( short sales, or NOD leads by calling home owners and seeing if they want to sell before they go into foreclosure)  in a growing population area with strong job growth and buy, add value , and rent them out for tiny bits of cashflow and wait for appreciation. 2 main questions I have at the moment. 1) How did you pick your market to buy your first investment? 

I've been doing passive and active REI for almost 20 years now....mainly multifamily

Reading further down the thread I notice you were mainly looking at the Wholesale route.

Main key point is prevent conducive conditions allowing or encouraging termites to invade your property.
