I am also looking to invest out there (buying a property for my parents) and building a prefab ADU on the lot in order to rent out for supplemental income.

You are exactly right that it's better for the rent to be paid or supplemented by Medicaid, because these folks may be able to work but don't have much earning power and cannot pay market rates.

To that effect, I would like to suggest starting of a Hospitality/Hotel forum or meetup group.The aim of the group would be to network with hospitality industry professionals, discuss industry trends, and maybe have guest speakers from the Hospitality Industry. 

Brad Greiwe and Brendan Wallace, founders of the real estate tech venture capital firm Fifth Wall Ventures, aim to change this.

I'm aiming to obtain my first property within the next 6-9 months. 

It would have been great to meet with you @Charles A., im on my way to Arkansas now. so unfortunately we missed each other. 

I took a look at Fannie Mae's Conventional 97, but they have a "one unit principle" which goes against what I am aiming for.

The two-day class is eye opening and should be considered by any newbie.However, if you don't have money to speak of and need to take alternative paths toward, perhaps, an ultimate goal of passive investment streams, you may have to do a lot of self study and supplement your education through other investment clubs that offer a more broad perspective.Hope this helps!

Most of my purchases have been at the low end $20,000 - $50,000 and I generally aim for $10,000 in profit.

Since I am a new investor I want to supplement my income with cash flow first then, once I am more established, focus on appreciation.
