I don't have a lot of capital to buy a property right now in the area that I would like.People that get into businesses like these have a common thread, they are go getters and hustlers! 

from those I know the way they got going was to buy a 4 plex when it went up in value sell and buy an 8 when it went up sell buy a 16  then a 40 then 100 extra and you need no partners.. you grow it organically. however of course this is not pay 40k and your instantly an apartment owner..

For lending, your rates are going to be higher than if you were to buy under personal name.
