Bigger Pockets is a great place for education and networking and is full of great content.I recommend that you check out the following resources:1.

Network more -  connections could also bring on some good deals.

Would like to network and share our contacts and experience with contractors, lenders, experience, etc.  

i'd advise you to network your way to something - you need people trusted by people you trust. 

Also, staging and professional photography can help potential buyers visualize the space better.Lastly, think about local advertising—social media, networking, and maybe hosting an event for local agents could help get more eyes on the property.

Networking with real estate professionals is huge, too – it opens up so many opportunities.Would you recommend starting with fix-and-flip projects or something else for someone new to private lending?

Interesting - I have been investing in Philly for 8 years, run a  group of 2500 small landlords, speak at lots of events, know and network with many of the players  . . . but never heard of him before.

1. coaching- all of the "coaches" were newbies themselves with about 1 year of experience and about 1 deal under their belts and they always disappear after 2-3 months and get replaced with new "coaches".2. networking- they have a FB group, populated primarily by other newbies. go there to answer questions, and it's likely you'll get other newbies saying "good question". there are lots of newbies hoping to get into a deal, but who wants to put together a team where every single person is brand new with no experience?

A 3' wide continual walking space perhaps? 

Here to network and seek and provide referrals. :)PS
