@Sathya Priya SampathkumarWe have partners who are investors on Visas.

@Shibashis DuttaWe have partners who are foreign investors.

Utilize the most efficient form of entities, Series LLC instead of individual LLCs, LLC instead of corporation (you can elect to have LLC TAXED as a corporation if that is desirable), LLC instead of limited partnership (eliminates the need for a separate entity to be created as general partner).  

I am in the process of networking locally to start figuring out who can/should be part of my team.Originally I had had an interest in being a limited partner in syndications, but with my goal of enough cash flow to replace my day job (and eventually my wife's), I don't think that that is going to get me where I want to go.So I am now considering SFH, small (<4 unit) multitenant.

Are there any investors I could learn from, network with, and potentially even partner on deals?

When you do private equity with a General Partner, there are so many thing you can do in a syndication that you cannot do alone. 

We are currently looking for partners.

You could find a local passive investor who would partner 50/50 with you. 

So I would tell you that 2-5 rentals is a piece of cake to manage - even if working full time (we kept 2 corporate jobs until we were up to 20 rental units.)The other thing I would tell you is that there are MAJOR control differences between being a limited partner in a syndication - where you are more akin to a passenger on the bus which is your investment, versus full control of everything when managing your own rentals.  

Treat income and expenses separately, treat owners like owners, treat occupants like occupants.Unit B should be owned under an LLC with you and the co-owners as partners.
