You would then have a revolving door of agents to try and constantly train depleting valuable time, money, resources.Instead a brokerages sets up a commission only system where the strong survive and thrive but the weak sales agents eek out a few sales at fat splits to the brokerage before leaving the business.Commercial is a lot more complex than residential.

Another option which might not be realistic for a lot of people or even too complex to understand is called a "captive" , Google it.

i had this same problem when I started.doing the buying transaction and the lending transaction at the same time reduces competitiveness against cash buyers. deals with loans go slower, they are more complex, and trying to buy a distressed house with a loan is an added layer of difficulty. there are options to buy a home with a rehab loan (hard money, or 203k) but costs will be higher obviously. 

I intend to keep up the momentum until I am confident enough (with my ever-growing knowledge-data-base) to start analyzing and figuring out clever ways to get rental properties (multi-families to small commercial/apartment complexes).So let's get right down to it: My Goal:Financial Independence.My Why: So I can be there for my kid when it counts.

Most of the banks we get in touch with say they have a minimum of $1M loan for apartment complexes.

I am new to investing and I found a 24 unit apartment complex for 599,000.

Would it make more sense to go straight for MFHs or Apartment Complexes, doors rather than properties, in order to scale faster?

I will wait until i have my first appartment complex and hire one then. 

Other boards want to create huge war chests to have the best of everything, and further use a hefty HOA fee as a way of keeping 'undesirables' out of their complexes.
