I have a bachelors in Construction Managements and run substation electrical jobs for a living while my wife is a stay at home mom with the kids.

Then make sure there are ample property management companies in case you'll have any attrition.

Self managing should be easy, if not then that Realtor can probably help you with the rental side of it. 

Additionally, I'm working with the RE Ally Property management team, who was able to find a tenant to rent at slightly above market rates without any vacancy.

My role with this MF company is to manage the design, construction of the GC's and opening of the properties.

A lot of investors who succeed in EC know the tenant base very well and a lot of them self manage.

But what's most compelling is that he's managed to curate a group of people who also care for each other and care about HOW they conduct business.

I am newly married and have a hefty mortgage myself, but I manage to save a decent amount of money realistically 10-15k a year I have been working as a construction worker as long as I have been working I am a mason by trade and even though moneys tight I know I will be a successful investor even in the current market.

Using a HELOC or home equity loan on your personal home could be a good option, especially if you can secure a low interest rate and manageable terms.

No syndication experience but there are about a dozen quality RV/Mobile home parks on market in Oregon, several with owner carry options that can be passiv-ish with management in place.
