I would start by listening to the podcasts, i especially liked the older ones!

 just start generating leads and start talking to people and when you’re not doing that educate yourself also hire a mentor just basically get active..

Their a/c starting leaking and has missing ductwork, and is blowing air in random places.

Each room will have a separate lease on it with a separate deposit following normal property management practices, and like you said, the leases have different start dates. 

Hello everyoneI am new here and want to get started in real estate.

This will help out tremendously when I start shopping for an agent.

In the end I refinanced THE DAY rates bottomed and they immediately started going back up.

I exclusively work with out of state investors like yourself to help them find some great properties to start/build onto their portfolios in the Memphis market. 

Could you please suggest how I can start and what steps I should take?

That being said, if you're 23 and you don't own a home, I really do recommend starting with a house hack as you don't need the 25% down capital to get started and you kill 2 birds with one stone by getting a rental and having a roof over your head.
