Sold some of her houses three times and got a big down payment each time, plus rent/payments.

Step one: Acquire a single family home for 80% of its value then brrrr that property. step two: Repeat until the funds are available for a multi-unit then brrrr it.step three: By this point, I should have a network, I have deals under my belt, and the knowledge to invest into apparments.
