I've talked to my dad multiple times about the pool and animals, but he doesn't seem too concerned.

These are somewhat general...Did they pay on time?

Flipping is 10x the time that wholesaling is, in or out of state, and if you don't pay attention you will lose and lose on contractors.A first flip will take you 2-3x longer than you think, cost 2-3x more than you think, and one contractor will walk with your money at least.What you are trying to do is to create a side hustle in real estate, but you are biting off things that you don't have time for.

The law reads, as I understand it, that it is not about the lease but the amount of time the tenant resides in the property.

What would be nice is also to have someone on more often who has been around a longer period of time (ala pre-2008) as most people in real estate only know the good times and what we have ahead of us is not the good times.

My question is does anyone know of lenders that will lend to first time ground up investors where they will be willing to use my 5 flips in 2 years experience to lend to my LLC/me. 

Part of the reason I still work my W2 part time is so I'm not reliant on the commission which allows me to advocate the better deal and not try to bump my numbers 1k or 2k here at the expense of my client on the scale of tens of thousands.

I would then plan to use this forced equity (since I plan to buy a fixer upper) to invest in another home.I have been constantly reading to househack right into the MFH, but this may take some time for me to acquire the money and purchasing power.

Last time I checked the rates were around 9-10%.
