How would you recommend finding a brokerage with similar interests/goals that could possibly be a sponsor.

I've seen were people can turn their credit cards to cash through different systems if you have any recommendations for that.

I’d recommend circling back for more details if needed.

I I live in a 55 plus community and they take advantage of the older people becasue they are often recommended. 

I recommend quoting your state law for right of entry, or something very close to it.I say we will inspect, but I don't give a timeline or frequency.

I've watched some videos from BP but i'd like some recommended reading to educate myself in preparation and so i can start going to open houses and actually having an idea of what i'm looking at.3. i'm thinking about changing careers to either electrician or plumbing to get skills that may help me manage my properties or do house flips and value adds to my properties.

Quote from @Michael Soukup: Yes, I recommend you pay off all your debt first before investing in another property.

Does anyone have a recommendation on how they handle presentations to investors?

You get to make offers on your own and potentially save on buyer's commission.I wouldn't recommend if you already have an active income that is serving you well because it would be better to invest time in that endeavor if that's the case.

I recommend looking at that first.
