You can also find real estate investing groups through meetup.com, Facebook, or a Google search.

@Matthew Ferguson do you have any updates on your search?

Now you are looking to see if deals are within your buy box which is analyzing deals. 3.

As someone who deals and talks to real Private Lenders (small shops run by a guy who lends his own capital and doesn't use big box), they have a hard and fast business model that produces the rate of return they need to remain profitable and curb the risk on their cash.So the best product for a budding fix and flip investor is the bridge loan which includes acquisition money and construction money. 

Can I still do simple 4 box calculation? 

I've been looking in deal finder for properties and noticed to multi families aren't showing up in map view, but when I search them by address the listing appears.

May be more if you wanna search. https://www.biggerpockets.com/topics/386835

This will help narrow your Buy box and make your efforts more fruitful.  

I have some relatives that will never leave the safety net of a job  or even invest in RE due to the not thinking outside of the box (or cubicle).

Brad.I'd just search on google "Pinetta property management".Call around to these companies, ask them a few basic questions until you find the right fit.
