@Astante James - Become a real estate agent! It is synergistic with the activities that you currently do. You already interact with investors, buyers, and sellers on a normal basis due to your job hence you probably already have clients in your network that you are unaware of. Once you become an agent, focus this commission on providing capital towards your downpayments and don't spend it on anything else. The great thing about being an agent is you get large sums at once hence it is way easier to save than a normal hourly wage. Leverage this savings into a househack on a multifamily. I understand you had a bad experience, however with the right team, househacks are pretty straight forward. Best of luck! 

Jaudon,

You FHA 3.5% or Fannie Mae 5% down for any 2-4 Unit Primary home. You can also use a DPA program if you do not plan on selling or refinancing the home right away. Renters are easy to find just have to Vet them and in many cases you can find them prior to closing.
