@Gustavo Gonzalez1 major reason (among others this isn't an all conclusive reason) everyone is talking about apartment investing via syndication as the best way to enter the multifamily  space, in addition to taking advantage of economies of scale is...., It's a team sport AND if you're just getting started (you stated "enter") you want a team that consist of good operators that have experience.    

I've been extremely intrigued by the large multifamily space after listening to @Jake Stenziano & @Gino Barbaro's Wheelbarrow Profits podcasts for the past couple months and reading on apartment syndication.

Since it will be my first purchase I would like to start off slow, maybe start with $10,000 to $20,000 down payments for the beginning and then later scale up, and eventually get into commercial real estate multi family properties in the future.

You have to have a lighter touch with the property management.From a legal perspective in SFRs, yes, I always give 24 hours notice before I asset my right to access the property, WITH TWO EXCEPTIONS, an emergency situation constituting a danger to my property, the tenants, or the public at large, and shoveling any public sidewalks running through the property.

or we set up one from a small scale. 

You might also want to keep an eye out for certain cities that have planned large improvements such as new schools and stadiums as they will spike up the tax rate in a higher percentage than typical.

The house is a nice brick 3 bedroom 1 bathroom on a large corner double lot with a partially finished basement in a great neighbourhood close to all amenities.

It may be a C-/D+ building but it’s treated me very well so far and I plan to continue acquiring more of them until I have enough equity to buy a large house here that I can break up into 3-4 rental units.

The GR is a rare event so maybe not likely.My market has at least 60 years of long-term appreciation, vacancy rates consistently below 3.5%, unemployment rate of 2.8% (May - probably lower now), no supply (no where to build and large existing housing shortage), positive net migration, guaranteed increase to minimum wage (already passed). 

Based on current research, we plan to go into BRRRR investing starting with SFH with our first couple of deals and then to small MFH and large MFH down the road.
