Once you know what’s possible then you’d likely want to evaluate affordable housing grants, tax credits, tax incentives, etc. 

DSCR loans are a great option for anyone that doesn't fit the conventional "box" - DTI isn't a factor, no employment info needed, no W2s, paystubs, tax returns, 1099s, etc. needed, you can close in an LLC if you want to and many lenders don't report to personal credit, so those loans won't affect your credit score/DTI for any conventional financing you might pursue in the future.

Quit my job and now i want to start my flipping house business.

Landlording friends is something that I've thought about for a bit, as in general, I think mixing friendships and business can be a hard line to straddle.
