In an attempt to add value to her and the education they will be providing me, my thought is to hire a friend of mine who produces high quality video content for real estate agents and auctioneers(yes, there will be drone footage).

Personal loan through SoFi, Marcus or another online lender.

I currently have taken my online courses and submitted my application to the state to get my Real Estate Agent License.

I think basically the deal with ABQ is that there is very little growth and very little new inventory coming online, which means on the one hand you are protected from rising vacancy but on the other investment RE is expensive for what it is, as no new inventory comes online to push down prices. 

I’ve watched several videos on YouTube and many articles online as well.

I have been researching on line, and have come across information that indicates that the IRS has  a minimum interest rate for family loans that needs to be charged.Can I take a interest free loan from them?

So, about the numbers, I would take a look at the Tools section of BP where they are calculators for several different types of real estate investments, they also have some video tutorials on how to fill-in the numbers needed to run the calculation.

It's really easy to get lots of information about properties online so i would suggest use those resources to find and analyze deals and then figure out what you are comfortable with.

Read and watch the videos.
