If you want to invest without partners and do value add deals, the path forward is private, bridge, hard money or DSCR (which are all sort of the same thing).

With that being said, as long as your return is fairly straight forward, you should be okay but if you have multiple rentals and other things going on, always worth at least a chat with someone.
