@Maria JeanetteI would recommend trying to narrow down your search to a state and then 1 market.

I really like the end of B and E. :) You know what really matters.

Try to narrow down your options to the top 3-4.

Have a ‘plan B’ and be ok with it.

Nailing down a buy box in the area, funding, and having a plan will come out of absorbing a ton of knowledge and narrowing down to what makes the most sense to you, what fits your life, and what fits your goals the best. 

I want to narrow in on using the BRRRR strategy, but turnkey rentals are also intriguing.

As your base level of knowledge grows, you will start to develop a clearer picture on the things you want to do, and where you skill sets lie, which can narrow down who you may want for partner.  

Quote from @Rud Sev: Quote from @Chris Mason: I'd suggest narrowing down a bit.

As long as they were being held and use for investment when you sell  othem.If you 1031 from A to B and then later convert B to your primary residence.   

Only use hard money as last resort as its intended to be used for short term investments or band aids to get your through.
