It can get overwhelming with this much information at your fingertips these days. 

But I'm not too sure where to look for them or how to find those bigger buyers.Does anybody have any tips or advice on how to find these bigger buyers?

That's just a tip line not actually talking to someone who knows those players or what value the houses have.  

A few tips to get started: focus on networking with local investors, attend meetups or join online forums, and consider reading books like "The Millionaire Real Estate Investor" or "Rich Dad Poor Dad."

Any advice on whats the best way to reach out and any risks or tips to consider before investing in a property that needs a lot of work. 

If they put up any sort of resistance, that could be a cue to start digging a little deeper and documenting a bit more thoroughly (hence the doorbell camera coverage tip I put first - installing the cameras right away and then having the new lease conversation with the tenants afterward is very easy to frame as "I'm just a new owner putting some TLC into the property and doing my due diligence on the leases/tenants"; talking to your residents first, finding out they have extra people living there who aren't on the lease, and then installing cameras around the property could set you up for a very adversarial relationship with your inherited tenants). 

Thanks for these tips!

Additionally, if there are any resources or tips you'd recommend for a beginner like me to excel in the REI bookkeeping realm, I would be grateful for them.Thanks in advance for your guidance!

If you have any tips about house hacking or real estate in general it would all be appreciated!

The value add will be in the operations as the current owner(s) haven't kept their fingers on the pulse to run it at it's peak.
