Although you have to be careful, as some sellers can be taken aback by an agent purchasing a property and also taking a commission, it shouldn't really matter to them as they would pay it otherwise, and this produces immediate cash for you. 

For me its a numbers game and I can't produce the same numbers with the same amount of capital as I would if I invested in SFH.

I hope it keeps producing.

Most of the crowdfunding sites rely on technology to do what used to take a bunch of bodies to do.  

Stocks and Real Estate, both have produced millionaires.

Short  sales rarely produce discounts all things being equal.

The minimum loan amount for a 1-4 family income producing property is $20,000 and the maximum loan size is $250,000.

Even after taking online courses and following the guidelines they set out, you feel like you're doing something wrong because you're not producing results.

If that's the case, and it were me, I would focus my SM time budget on Instagram, and maybe Twitter, focusing on producing top-quality images to post. 

Single family homes and townhouses are often going to fluctuate in price more than apartment buildings, because they follow the retail market, where apartments are based on how much income they produce.
