@Jason Hill - I am not familiar with that designation; what would be the advantage of obtaining such a designation?

Being able to set up a site and market online is a huge advantage with wholesaling.

I've completed dozens of renovations, and have a solid network of contractors and vendors in my area, but hadn't really considered real estate until recently.Now that my husband and I are thinking about buying our first home, I want to make it an investment and use my experience and contacts to our advantage.

The advantage of the loan (vs. the card) is that you don't have to actually spend the money, you get it back in the end!

I am going to take advantage of these to develop and execute my plan.My Plan is to - Purchase multi-family units (2-4) that need slight rehab or cosmetic work to force demand appreciation.

If you can stand moving every few years for a while it allows you to get those very advantageous owner-occ loan terms so you can really make the most of your downpayment money.

Is it legal to post a sing stating that you will only rent your room in your house to a female?

By the time it hits your computer screen you lose your advantage in finding a deal.I don't see anything unique about your situation, being in AZ, being 24, having taken some classes.

Use that to your advantage if you can."

With that said, I plan on "living" in 1 unit to take advantage of a low deposit and lower insurance rates.
