If you are a person with low capital but eager to invest in real estate here are some options I would personally recommend and I would love to hear what other people suggest!

When the costs of the thing are so low that you can live free off the rent that the other unit is generating, it adds to your life.I would recommend reading Set for Life by @Scott Trench and looking at his data about living in duplexes.

It takes time to read, absorb, and put into practice.

I wouldn't recommend a new build home for rental purposes.

I re-read what you said, printing out my credit card balance is not a problem.  

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I recommend at least every six months, but would prefer you inspect every 3-4 months and be prepared to hold them accountable if there is even the slightest hint of damage or odor.People with strong applications and good credit tend to be responsible pet owners.

With my current cash reserve, I can probably get 3 or 4 more properties at 20% down before my funds are depleted.What would you recommend?

I'd recommend actually looking at the top performing asset classes in your market. define the market you want to do.

I'd recommend connecting with an agent and also contact a lender.
