Learning from agents commonly working with investors is your next opportunity to find a mentor.To be honest, I wouldn't try to find a mentor from random investors on the internet.

We experienced real estate investors tend to look at most “guru” type training/mentorship as, at the very best, inadequate to provide the new investor with a reasonable pathway to success.  

First house in 2021 - no internet to search at that time, remember going to realtor offices and seeing magazines and talking on phone with them about properties available and driving by them as there was no google street view.

Assuming your property is in Utah (like your profile indicates), here's the state law from a basic internet search:In Utah, a tenant who abandons a rental property without notice is liable for the lesser of the following: The rent remaining on the leaseThe rent plus the difference between the fair rental value and the agreed-upon rentThe cost to restore the property to its original conditionThe landlord can also remove the tenant's belongings and sell them if the tenant doesn't claim them within a reasonable time.

Good luck with getting this tenant to accept higher rent, because you've trained your tenant to think they have a "mortgage payment" that never goes up!

I would like to learn more about seller financing, I see a lot of information on the internet about seller financing but honestly I am just confused.

• Should utilities, internet, or services like snow removal/lawn care be included, or not?

Im trained enough myself at this point in QBO, but my bookeeper still does the more complex entries (Loans, capital balances, reconciliation, etc) I just do the data entries for expenses. 

So, When one person, the GURU, has a lot of people sending him leads, most don't work out of course, but some do and they are blasted all over the internet.

The folks on BP are a great resource as is all the training and tools.
