There are social service orgs in MD that offer free legal advise to people in such matters if they can't afford to hire an attorney.

@David Taylor there is definatly a stigma attached to the activity.

It’s definitely worth trying out to see if it helps streamline your day-to-day real estate activities.

Or conversely maybe you have NO interest in being an active participant at all.

I've been actively searching for and analyzing multifamily and single-family deals, making calls, and submitting offers.

Because the total volume of sales for these lots is down, there's potential for a large gap between the lowest-priced active listing, and the most recent closed listing, solely due to the lack of available data (closed sales).

First, it could help you qualify as a real estate professional (REP), or at least make it easier to qualify, which would allow you to offset passive losses from your rental properties against your active income.

Market your property and get tenants.This could be through flyers, direct mail, rental marketplaces, newspaper ads, or on social media etc. 6.

Also have active listings all over California.

It seems like you enjoy being active and using your hands so maybe the BRRRR method (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) is your best bet as you could save some money and do plenty on your own, you could also do a live in flip potentially and sell it or rent it out later.
