Based on some of the information I have gathered from Brian, along with some of my own research, I believe a crowdfunded deal or a private lending opportunity may be my best bet with this vehicle. 

I'm still new to investing, but I've been told that on a multifamily property you are only able to borrow up to 70% of the total value.

@Jim Adrian, I totally agree with you on what a credit score is.

Mentors: Anybody that has done this successfully for at least 4-500 units in total, I am all ears.

Would it be my safest bet to just say i'm interested in joint ventures and limited partnerships?

The other is much lower but is a fixer upper that would probably require work that would bring the total cost to be $140,000 with the addition of the money to do repairs. 

Between trade wars and politics going crazy right now my bet is the next election cycle is going to shake things up.

It would total depend upon the deal.  

For 2017, total rental revenue was $116,000, total expenses were $77,000, and profit paid to the owner for the year was $36,000.These aren't great Cash on Cash numbers, but they are a means to a desired end (owning a place in this location). 

If you are purchasing for an investment you would want to know how much total that you would need to invest including; purchase price, closing costs, rehab, holding costs, etc...
