I know little about private money such as deal structures, avg rates, and finding individuals interested in such deals.

At least with a family they will all move at once and won't try to get out of the lease individually. 

If you want to do this "by the book" (legally and without violating copyright law), you can lease the Realtor forms and use them as an unlicensed individual.

I often have people call out greetings to me when they enter the room and are standing behind me.

Get in front of each individual in your sphere at least every 3 months.

It is our hope that by joining bigger pockets we will be able to connect with experienced individuals that won't mind sharing some of their knowledge and expertise. 

Both are fully empty.Both need some work before renting out, nothing big it appears right now, but definitely paint/floor work and some restructuring of how the units fit together.Should we offer individually or attempt to get them in a package deal?

For example, under the "Entry" heading on my lease agreement, it states the following: "Tenant shall make Premises available to Landlord for the purpose of entering to make necessary or agreed repairs...., or to show Premises to prospective or actual purchasers, tenants, mortgagees, lenders, appraisers, or contractors." 

Look for the map feature which breaks down individual subdivisions by things like income (not crime unfortunately).
