Benefits are numerous - economies of scale, easier management for multiple doors in one location, easier to have professional management (and cheaper), one loan for a multitude of doors, and the list goes on.So, is it possible to get to that goal using SFR's, yes, anything is possible, but less likely and not the best path in my opinion.

The woman was kind enough to let me have the garage and a spot next to the garage to park my rv.

Does that come with a view of the crack house next door?

Cabinet, countertops, sinks, oven, water heater, air conditioner, heater, and some doors were missing.

I've looked in other parts of the State but can't come close to Indy.Yes, you can buy lot's of creative financed doors for $35k!

The price gets the folks in the door.

Hopefully I won't come off as a waste of time and I can find an experienced investor to show me the ropes and (MAYBE) even finance my first deal.Does this seem like a realistic way to get my foot in the door?

Imagine that somebody knocked on your door and wanted to purchase it for no money down.

My Mechanic/Friend who works from the garage in the commercially zoned house he rents pays 995$, but its much smaller and much less "professional" than this place.

Unless you have a very trusted money manager or business manager (doubt you do or you wouldn't be asking us) who can keep an eye on this stuff, you are likely to get fleeced at some point.
