I read online that baseline, and azibo offer that.

I have no affiliation with them.

Research Thoroughly: Before entrusting your finances to any fintech app, take the time to research its regulatory status, security measures, and any potential affiliations with licensed banks.

Continue educating yourself through books and online courses tailored to real estate and market analysis.

I have no affiliation with the TaxSaleAcademy other than having accessed their training.So overall there is value. 

Find and try to go to some Real estate investor meetups (REIA)- look on Facebook, Meetup or just search online- those are mostly held in the evenings during the week, so even working full-time you could probably attend a couple per month. 

I will of course use YouTube and other online sources, but I'd also like to speak with a person and even build a relationship with my local hardware store!

I’ve tried to look up municipal codes online in regards to rent by the room and limits on unrelated people living in the same home and have had no luck.

You can also check their reviews online at Google, Facebook, or Yelp.

I use KeyCheck, a FF affiliate, for background checks, lease agreements (available for all 50 states) and electronic signing, and payment processing including credit/debit card payments.
