If you're looking to keep your down payment in the range you suggested you'll need to stick to 1-4 units for your initial purchase. 2.

Stick to getting people to talk about themselves. 

Haven't done it yet because at least in my area, building with a shipping container is more expensive than traditional stick frame construction.

It's like going to the gym or working out, if you have someone to work with your chances of sticking to it and motivating or having healthy competition increase and so your performance should be better. 

Add a half court BBall, AND cornhole, and you have the best of all worlds.Pickle ball is a huge fad lately, and is likely to stick around, but like other fads, it can also vanish in time.

Having said that, stick to your criteria, but keep exploring possibilities with different PM companies/partners), and just keep UW deals.

This is only possible if both sides agree and the buyer is able to qualify for the increased loan amount (which includes the property appraising for the additional $3k which can be a sticking point if the concession, associated purchase price increase, to very large).Hope this helps.  

@Noelle Bohlen and @Michelle FoyI agree with those folks here on the thread who recommend sticking with something that works and becoming a real expert in it.

., and stick with that.  

And again, the (leveraged) wealthy benefit from it, while relatively untouched by a couple hundred dollars more for gas and food.There is a wealth gap,  I'm not sure it's creating (very much) ((social)) tension.I'm guessing the middle earners (because they really are not Middle Class by American standards of a few decades ago), W2 Wage slaves living paycheck to paycheck, more resent the people on Welfare who they work to support,than the wealthy--who they have almost zero contact with, other than in certain service jobs.Culturally there seems to be a bigger divide between the welfare's and the W2's than between Welafare's or the W2's and the High Income/High Net Worth individuals, who also use mortgages and make payments on cars and furniture.Just more expensive homes, cars and furniture than your standard paycheck to paycheck W2 Wage Slave.I think the divide is between the Welfare Class and the so-called Middle class who supports them with their IRS tax payments.But in reality I think there is not much animosity between any groups, that is not stirred up by the media.Most people treat me decently, no matter what their group--and I do my best to treat them decently as well.Of course there will always be those who are jealous, or Hate for other reasons, but most people have it pretty good as far as getting what they want.And there is no way to fix jealousy or Hatred--it's been with us since time forever.As far as the W2's and the welfare's, there needs are met, and no one is standing in their way of getting more other than their own inability to motivate themselves to do more to get more.The one's who get the bad end of the stick ore the Homeless People--that's a tough life, poor devils.Just My 2 Cents.
