I'm ready for the tough challenges ahead but am excited for the opportunity to learn more about real estate, building a business, and in the process discover a thing or two about myself.

Commercial loans lower than $300k is tough.

Hey Real estate champions, what option sounds best to you, if the intention is to get best return on real estate investment,  good cashflow,  cash on cash, less vacancy,  low maintenance, least hassle, and expect property appreciation over time etc might not go for BRRRR currently, due to time constraints, and it's tough in bay area.but considering, open to anywhere in US (but not a fan of snow) , and down payment is not a problem (although there is a max limit,  but let's assume it's not critical to put 100k - 500k down payment ) Option 1- Go big, all in, one apartment complex may be 20 -40 +units  in TX, AZ, FL or where ever its possible, hire onsite manager.Option 2 - Invest small, buy multiple duplex/ triplex etc. near by,  try to manage self to save on prop mgmt Option 3 - Go for multiple single family homes near by, manage self. easy to sell/buy individually if needed Option 4 - Go for Land, rent space for RV parking,  mobile homes etc .

I also have a bunch of investors money I can tap into if the right deal comes along (like everyone else).I have been hitting up wholesalers and cold calling when I can, but it is tough out there if you are looking to get 70% of market value.

If your budget is $150k you're going to have a tough time buying here - right now there's only one house on the market below that price and it would require at least $60k in renovations.The Riverside and (adjacent) Avondale neighborhood regularly ranks in the top neighborhoods in the country, and values have risen steadily for years now.

If you can show legitimate history in this business and prove your value, it should not be too hard to find the right person. 

As we all know, it's tough to find and keep good people these days.

What other income do you have from investments to prove you can make the payments? 

Your original post/inquiry proves your analysis skills are thorough so you'll figure out what works, no doubt.
