(please give advice that is not beginner level, as I have been researching MTRs for months and already know the basics) 

Beginner mistake ?   

In this case a maintenance item that I cannot get the tenant to perform.  

And then a lot of questions from beginners which is cool and other members saying they will help ( which is excatly what happens on BP).

Another solid read is "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" by Gary Keller, which focuses more specifically on real estate strategies.For podcasts, BiggerPockets is extremely popular and a fantastic resource, especially for beginners.

Hi Nico,Thank you for your post, You mentioned that hiring a few virtual assistants (VAs) to cold call has been effective, and that text messaging is also performing decently,I specialize in identifying and revitalizing unique properties—those that are not typical, for example, I recently spotted a triangle-shaped property that has the potential to be transformed into something beautiful and valuable, either for living or resale, Could you please share your approach and any guidance you might have on the process of using virtual assistants (VAs) to cold call and the text messaging strategies that have been effective for you?
