One way is to have a cash-rich partner that can complement you.  

Usually you find someone to complement your weaknesses in a partnerships.

Fix and Flip and wholesaling complement them and their value.  

Figure out what you can bring to the table and find someone who can complement you to work with...maybe someone who has cash to invest, but no rehabbing skills; maybe someone who has some cash and more experience with construction but no time (who can oversee and advise you during the process). 

That in complement ion by the fact that my wife has been saving money for about 25 years has been my excuse not to feel stressed about making a living.  

Frank I know has self storage in communities he purchased last year, so I know he could offer his perspective as well.Building out storage units iis a great complement to a mobile home park or other multi-unit complex.  

So if you can complement and leverage each others strengths you can make a deal work.

I'd put your money to work once you understand what you are doing, find some partners that you gel with and complement you and  get in the game.  

But I absolutely love having both Air/VRBO- they complement each other and keep me pretty booked.

At the moment I have several active flips and flip JVs on the go, and I plan to fit in note investing as a complement to my active real estate investing.
