I am trying to be positive and understand that this is possible, but I am not honestly seeing how this is easy for others and not me.

People have to purposefully navigate to the BP website before they can engage, so it's a slightly higher bar.

Anyway, I don’t know if this is a dumb question or too vague, but I’ve really enjoyed the Bigger Pockets website and all the info on here.

Look into (and Google for) building science websites that will give you the whole scoop. 

My name is JJ and a really good buddy from my church guided me to this website.

I have a nice hi-rise condo unit and I get tons of companies asking if I do MTRs for Visiting Nurses, Tech Professionals, etc.My place is positioned near a number of large DC Metro Hospitals, but since covid work-from-home and recent lift of Eviction Moritorium, I have had few people with jobs, but a ton of people recently evicted looking to rent my place.The one viable group - visiting nurses has been excluded because my HOA will not allow short or mid-term rentals (anything less than one year is a No-No).They claim too many transient tenants cause excessive wear and tear on the property and too many people using resources like the gym, or pool or common areas.I think that's a lot of horse waste!

Don’t put yourself in a position where buying rentals creates a financial hardship.  

Here is a fantastic website that gives you a LIVABILITY score for each zip code/street.

Then - once you're stabilized around 90% occupancy - re enter the markets to secure quotes from Freddie / Fannie / HUD / life companies / banks / credit unions.If it's an acquisition perhaps you put short term debt on the property, re-position the asset, then refinance after you're turned the operation around.

You can pay someone on fiverr to create a LLC and get a EIN by going on the IRS website.
