@Nicolette YorkRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Group insurance: Look for insurers offering discounts for insuring multiple rental properties or join a local landlord association to explore group insurance options.The key is to strike a balance between cost savings and maintaining adequate coverage to protect your quadplex investment.

I’m currently reading Brandon’s book on creative financing and am interested in exploring the possibility of obtaining a home equity loan.

Research emerging neighborhoods, find properties using MLS, Zillow, and Redfin, explore financing options, form partnerships, analyze deals using BRRRR calculators, and manage the rehab process.

I would explore there. 

You might also want to explore other options like Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) for more flexibility or even direct ownership of smaller properties if you want a bit more control.

I do have some references in Vegas if you're interested in exploring. 

Aaron Linden you're right Aaron, I do intend on going there and do some exploring of the city, do you have any recommendations on what parts of the city tend to be safer and quieter?

Are you planning to invest only in your local market, or are you open to exploring opportunities elsewhere as well?

Short term rentals can be lucrative but come with higher variability and management needs.My Take:It might be beneficial to consider a mixed approach—drop the rent slightly under market value to secure a tenant and stabilize your cash flow, while simultaneously exploring the short term rental market.
