I am going to start a holding company specifically for real estate, not exactly sure what type of RE to invest in, if I should seek partnership and go for a bigger deal, where could I learn the most about investing specifically in multi-family, any books I can read to expand my knowledge on the subject, any specific BP Podcast episodes that could enhance my abilities as well.

This isn't an expensive exercise. 

If you certainly can afford the new payments then you won't need to artificially enhance your income to qualify for it.

I'm sure many have huge restrictions and regulations on landlords as many are former/current Communist countries.My analysis after this interesting exercise is as always...Real Estate is hyper local.   

Structure the basics like this:A - Price agreed to.B - Option Period:  Number of years the option is in play.C - Two Way Option:       1 - You as Buyer have exclusive right to buy during Option Period     2 - Seller can exercise an Option to NOT sell. 

I have developed a Team and we seek to network and reach other investors and acquisitions investors with our our direct seller inventory while enhancing my/our knowledge of real estate while networking with others.

So my experience with lease option is it only benefits the tenant until it is exercised.

If the tenant exercises the option to buy the property, the option money would go toward the purchase price.

These complementary technologies maximize self-utilization2 of PV electricity generated onsite and minimize hourly exports back to the grid, and as they come into common use, they will benefit distribution systems and enhance local reliability.https://ww2.energy.ca.gov/title24/2019standards/documents/Title24_2019_Standards_detailed_faq.pdf

In addition, subject to the Consumer Credit Code, I may exercise my other rights under this contract, and any right available to me under law.9.
