One of the strategies mentioned is to offer 2-3 choices to tenants so they compare the choices rather than comparing your rental to others in the area.

Residential lenders won't touch it, and commercial lenders tend to value it with comparables (like a residential) instead of the income approach because it's more similar to a 4-unit than a 20-unit apartment. 

Raising your limits and getting an Umbrella would be relatively cheap compared to the overall cost. 

They prices/rents are much higher compared to SFH.

These folks will be your boots on the ground.  

I realized that simply earning money following Jeff's advice across different part time jobs and investing wisely and networking with other folks is the way to go.Yes indeed many wonderful folks in this forum are right.. you can network with others to help you get the house.. where for example you can be the guy with boots on the ground, while investors provide passive income or partially also be a bit of both active and passive... type of investors... where for example some of them can help you analyze deal and get it under contract... 

I will start out doing some residential fix and flips to get my feet wet with putting deals together and then move onto commercial renovations, then hopefully ground up developments.

This works best for substantial rehab or ground up development.

Thanks.B/rLuis Thank you for your service & of course welcome to the site.Here are some of my thoughts for you & those of you reading this who may be in a similar position looking to invest with a turnkey provider &/or an out of state ground team of sorts. 

You don't want to get near a position of negative cash flow.You will also want to consider whether this house is a good investment compared to what you can buy.
