A good example to reduce your potential costs without raising rents is to have the tenant agree to handle all repairs under a certain amount.

Investing relatively small amounts into many different funds, notes, syndications, etc and having a chunk of your capital grow that way.

However if you do not want to live next to your tenants and run the risk of being in an uncomfortable situation, you may put a small amount of money down with the right loan structure. 

By the way, the 3.5 to 4.5 % fixed rates are over.
