To start this off, I'm looking for a partner who does plenty of these deals, that can walk me through this deal.

If you hire someone to do your landscape - mowing the lawn, prune trees etc... on a monthly basis, you might want to drop by once every 2-3 months to make sure the lawn maintenance work is satisfactory.I suggest you personally go change the air conditioning filter every 30-45 days.These two combined should give you a good excuse to stop in to inspect your property without them feeling like you are watching them.Add to that the occasional need to go pick up mail (in case not everything is forwarded or changed), as well as actual repair work...you have plenty of opportunity to go inside without any specifically scheduled "inspections".I tell all my tenants up front I will come by every month to change AC filters, bleach the condensate line, throw some ice and lemon peels into the disposer.

I don't have any experience in investing but plenty in the construction end of it.

Looking at a price range up to $150K, seem to find plenty of options but I am not sure the areas to really focus on.

There are plenty of MFR that produce.  

As a ray of insight, larger trades will sometimes invite more than one indicative bidder into due diligence and actually refund the cost of due diligence if that bidder does not win with final price.If you are a newer investor, I would suggest you stay away from these types of trades.  

I'm looking it up now and finding plenty to get into.

I have plenty of experience with residential rental units, and I own a couple recreational properties in Oklahoma, Texas and Florida that I am considering doing some kind of seasonal leasing until I retire.

There was plenty of other items as well.Next time I will have a more regimented evaluation structure.
