I’ve also been saving up a large portion of my checks to go towards a future down payment for hopefully a multi-family property to start my house hacking journey.Just wanted to put myself out there but if there was anything you would tell a future real investor what would it be and I’d appreciate any advice given, Thanks. 

For a new property, lenders check your income, credit score, and debts.

For $2,000 which was loaned to me from a friend for 90 days for $200, I gave an attorney a cashier's check as a down payment.

If you tell me the majority of the partners are merely writing checks and are passive LP's that's different but that's not what this sounds like. 

When I was ready to buy my first property I made a flow chart of everything that needed to happen from selecting a market right through collecting my first rent check. 

Hire a property manager that properly screens tenants and checks up on the property for you.
