Preferably one that’s occupied, but needs some cosmetic work/rents raised. 

I have flipped ranch’s, split levels, raised ranch/bilevel, colonials and found there was a buyer no matter the style.

I'm used to raising over a million dollars a year, so I have no problem asking anyone for money, and I have no problem being told no, and working my way from that initial "no" to a "yes".

We raised a total of $1m which was a combination of $200,000 from myself (GP) and $800,000 from investors.

Let's say you're a value-add guy and you raise rents $10/U/mo on those 20 units or $2880/year.

She then said that it was her right to call a meeting and that she is 'disappointed' I wont hear the 'complaints of (my) tenant*s*' asserting explicitly they both have 'issues' to raise. 

I live in a pretty rural area and I am considering trying to wholesale some properties(local or otherwise) in order to raise enough capital to begin purchasing rental properties.

The fact that you are not even close though would raise some concerns for me a little on that plan. 

If not, if the bank sells the notes, insurance or they later see who they can raise rates on, your account might get flagged because the borrower is not the owner of the property - according to the paperwork. 

By that I mean, start by having a small percentage deducted from your paycheck, and as you get raises/make more money, increase the percentage deducted to have that new/higher amount deducted from your paycheck before you ever get it in your paycheck.
