Try to wholesale some deals to build up cash.2.

You might be better off to take that $500 and stick it in an account and let it build up over time.There's a lot of fine print, and they don't cover a lot.

If you don't have any personal cash or assets, you can always get a job or side hustle (i.e. real estate agent) that allows you to build up some cash to use as seed capital. 

You will obviously need to build up reserves over the next year so that you aren't cash strapped, but you are still in good shape if you are getting interest. 

When you build up the number of units closer to your goal, you can start paying them down.

I refinanced a few years later with a 30 year product and with the reduced principal and a lower interest rate, my new monthly payment was only 40% of my previous monthly payment.I took the opportunity to build up a cash cushion of two years by making the lower new monthly payment.

I would just let the property build up a little bit of reserves and then also put more towards possibly paying it off faster.However, I'm switching gears and trying to become more of an investor full time, gain financial freedom, and start using that income to live. 

There's been a lot of movement into Indy and some buildup in Cleveland, I've been waiting to hear about Cincy.

But owning property and utilizing the income, depreciation, equity build-up, appreciation and leverage is something you should likely do sooner rather than later.

In addition to this I think that becoming a realtor will be a slower build up process much like a business where I would have to start getting referrals from previous clients to build up a client base and continue the process to really get things going.
