You've not really walked a value-add property until you've been in one where bedroom #1 was where the dogs crapped and bedroom #2 was where the humans crapped.

I started to find a few solar companies installing solar on larger multifamily then billing each tenant for electric directly.

For larger jobs like this it's always best to get several quotes so you know what the market rate for the job is. 

If my business was new at the time and wouldn't be carrying larger balances, it is simply annoying to pay a bank for not having 1500/2500 minimum average balance.

Every few years the assessor may do a drive by of a property, but it's likely not a frequent occurrence, especially in larger counties/cities.

I work with a bunch of hard money lenders that fund units that size and larger.

@Miles Fletcher Another place to meet home owners is at HOA meetings, garage sales, or dog parks!

Given that you noted you can do construction yourself, that $50K is close to your entire savings, and that you are looking to replace your income with cashflow, I would recommend you NOT start with larger multifamily syndications. 

I like being in submarkets of larger MSA areas unless it's a town I intimately know. 

.-  Some of the larger maintenance costs that capEx covers such as: are driveway, siding, and roofing/shingles is covered by my HOA.
