@Gabriel Lamb Start with educating yourself first: read books on mfh investing, listen to podcasts, network with other investors local at the REI meetups.

The education I received through the podcast was invaluable in giving me the knowledge and confidence to do the first deal.

The first step is education.

We are all planning on taking a trip to ATL in October (probably late Oct) to view properties, meet with a realtor, explore options and educate ourselves on the market overall. 

What are some of the challenges that you have faced in the past when educating investors that may be more inclined or versed in the traditional real estate asset classes, Such as SFR, MFR, etc... 

Sounds like you've got your education plan in place. 

Therefore, no matter which field you get into look to be on the cutting edge and keep up on education as well as many income streams as possible.Good luck and best wishes!

or something turn key where you can leverage the 50k to buy roughly $200k of property?

Over time, that $115k will build you equity that you can leverage to purchase more properties, not to mention the monthly cashflow.

The alternative is to pay for education.
