I need to make my first move so as to avoid analysis paralysis but I don't know how to go about it.I hope to meet a mentor(s) who can help me with my vision to own numerous single and multi family rentals to create cash flow, financial freedom, and a legacy for my family.

Cash-flow is your reward for a good purchase - and for us, our entire paycheck as managing our properties is our full time job! 

Every option will vary in the level of risk/reward that you take on. 

It's not an easy business, but it's incredibly profitable and rewarding if done right. 

For the past 8 years, I've faced numerous struggles while trying to establish a new life on my own.

From automatic marketing on numerous rental sites, to the amazingly detailed background check and the user friendly platform for both the prospective tenants and myself my experience has been great.

All great features and I'm sure there are many more, but I don't think you'll get rewarded for all of them. 

But moving in is 100% the best deal for you, the easiest and most rewarding.

Your post didn't sound like it came from a landlord with 25 years of experience, so I was pointing to the basics hoping it would motivate you to do some research.A quick Google search revealed numerous NJ banks that offer the convenience of opening accounts online.

This is typically how I approach my investing since I'm more in it for the long haul than short term rewards.
