I am hoping that the community can point me in the direction of articles, books, videos, etc. to look into.

Check out the youtube videos. 

So that 3.5% down FHA Youtube video from 10 years ago, doesn't really work for most deals around DFW.   

Local Facebook groups of investors or subreddits can also be huge.2) Attend local meetups and REIA meetings, these can be great to meet potential clients and other contacts to source deals3) Friends and family CAN work but you should try this: set up a class on real estate investing, have yourself and other folks speak about how to get started and Invite every single person you know and if they're not interested, no problem, ask them if they know anyone that can benefit from that4) Longer term, but you can create content on available delas for Inst and TikTok, Real Estate investing is a hot topic and not many folks use those video platforms to show people real deals and how to get started.Best of luck.

I think I remember watching an actual Bigger Pockets Youtube video of a young lady who does this. 

@Holly Polf our PMC business uses RingCentral: phone, SMS, Glip (slack), and RC Video (Zoom).It's all integrated in a single app for desktop and cell!

I have a video on my BP profile page that walks you through different areas of Memphis.

I'd recommend listening to some podcasts or watching some youtube videos about real estate investors who have seen some success and figuring out what that looks like for you.Happy investing !

I am able to go to the properties, take videos, they do their research on what they need to do (talk my PM as well), and making offers/paperwork is easy because you can just use digital signature, etc. some come out here and check out places with me as well.

I suggest utilizing all the tools at your disposal on the BP website, listening to podcasts, following investors on social media, and watching YT videos.
