High rents, low crime, low unemployment, good wages, great schools, constant demand to name a few.. 

However I Just Started Building Credit And I Make $21/Hour Full Time, While Currently Developing Multiple Streams oF Income.

Seems like you're educating yourself well and have realistic expectations as to what returns you can achieve while not neglecting your main stream of income.

You need a third-party note buyer.Yes, these note buyers will be looking for a discount, but that's the cost of converting an income stream back into cash ahead of the agreed payment schedule.

I'm constantly trying to find hidden gems (maybe some would characterize this as a form of lead gen) and also working to make our offers look the best when we're in competitive bidding situations.

my apologies, I'm looking to rent a place, i was having issues with their search criteria, the sites would constantly fill search results with listings that specifically did not meet the selected criteria selected. 

Glad to have a profession with a constant stream of income at this time.Before the outbreak, I bought a duplex that I planned on holding.

Additionally, multifamily spreads the risk and income streams so weathering a storm becomes more manageable. 

You have to constantly feed the beast.Have you been pre-qualified for a $475k mortgage? 

Risk tolerance and streams of income available (and how weak or strong they are) are big factors to size of reserve fund, then add in level of home prices, interest rates and costs of loans to determine how much leverage we're comfortable with.
