He/she would hire you most likely for the worst units/tenants in the worst parts of town...

I'll hold my opinion back on this as I need another professional to brainstorm this.No money down as the future buyer will put this down.500/month netfuture sell of 260k  (3yrs). 

Hire contractor to construct 8-plex of one bedrooms for 750,000.  

So far that does not seem too easy too find locally, so I am looking at midwest/southeast markets to find SFRs or MFRs to be managed professionally. 

Hello BP,I know how important building a website in real estate is, because not only does it contain what you have to offer, but it makes you look more professional as an agent or investor for that matter.

You park a dumpster outside and hire temp unskilled guys to toss the junk and strip the carpet. 

I have a photography and art background, so I'm not looking to hire anyone, but I want to do better than compact cams or a phone with a wide attachment lens.

They will want to be your 'partner'... do not even consider the offer.If someone has a skill or talent to offer, and that YOU ACTUALLY NEED, make an assessment of what it is worth to you and then offer to hire them for that amount of money.

I can't tell from your post, but if you are just speaking of multifamily meaning a duplex or triplex to house hack to pay your mortgage, then I would focus on where you can get a good professional job first, then look in that market for a place where the numbers work to house hack.If you are looking at larger multifamily in Memphis, then try to talk to @Erik Nowacki who moved from CA to Memphis to own and manage multifamily.

Just saying ,the expenses for out of state properties is hard to manage when you have no physical, eyes on, level of work, or professionalism done,, until a problem really surfaces and then you've paid thru the nose, jump hoops to figure things out after the fact.
