However, a well thought-out JV is very attractive to me.

Denver Metro has seen an average 6% increase in appreciation for residential over the last 40 years.

FHA guidelines allow using collateralized loans (i.e. your 401(k), stocks, bonds, life insurance deposits, other real estate) but not anything that would increase your monthly obligation - so private loans, signature loans, etc. are all out for FHA.

I want to increase my capital so I do everything in cash.

If the value of both properties go up by 10%, you make $20k on scenario 1 (10% increase x $200k value x 100% ownership) and $167.5k on scenario 2 (10% increase x $5mm value x 33.5% ownership).

If I was to purchase a multifamily investment, for example a 6-unit property, and turned two of the units into vacation or short term corporate rentals that increased NOI when compared to traditional rental income with lower NOI, how would lenders look into this in terms of a value add to the property?  

I usually do suggest finding a deal first as it increases the chances of landing a mentor, but I'd also say that finding a deal is the 1st step even without one.
