Also, would you recommend this strategy to a new, unexperienced investor?

There is a lot to go into it and recommend BP and youtube to learn more about the industry. 

What do you recommend.

Would definitely recommend. 

I recommend continuing to learn pros and cons of each and determine which paths (I pluralize it as you should diversify even across real estate).

What would you recommend for someone just starting out?

I would like to connect with any member who invests in the Daytona or Columbus area of Ohio.Question: Is there any recommendations on how to find discounted properties in the Ohio market or is a turnkey property the way to go?

Quote from @Max Emory: Hey @Heidi Kenefick, for your master accounting software I recommend QuickBooks Online.

Are there any groups that you'd recommend working with that you've had success with in the past? 

I'd absolutely focus on quality over quantity here.My recommendation is to be diligent and narrow down your research of where based off why, let go of the regret & resentment and put some actionable forces into getting your first REI and doing what it takes to get to a 2nd without any compromise.
