Establishing a reasonably high credit score minimum is your best option.

The crime rate there is low compared to downtown Chattanooga, but I'm not sure if Red Bank is an up-and-coming neighborhood, an established neighborhood, or a place people are fleeing.

In my rehab, which I visit the house w a GC (so numbers are right, he game me 170k with padding and I added 15k for holding).

They’ve got the game figured out.

But a condo would "get you in the game" and hopefully will appreciate some while you are living there for free or next to nothing.

One company owns everything and does nothing (this is your SLLC a/k/a “asset holding company”) and a completely separate company handles all of your operations (this is a traditional LLC a/k/a “operating company”) For the operating company which serves as your face to the world and through which you do all your business, you establish a Traditional LLC to carry out the operations of your investments.

You'll still be ahead of the game by generating income from it.  

I know the relationships between a real estate investor, their team and mentor should be organically established, and honestly I would not have it any other way.  

On the other hand, if you are accredited, then there are many other choices with much more experience, much more skin in the game and/or much lower fees.
