I have watched countless videos and read everything I can find online about this topic, but I still feel like I am missing something.

Options have been mentioned above and you will find countless others throughout the BP community.  

I have had countless conversations with agents after a prolonged search for a new rental apartment about their line of work.. all of them either reportedly love it or hate it..

This has saved me countless hours.

I have had countless subsidized tenants that were absolutely employable, but choose to take advantage of the system instead.

If there is any advice I can give to other inspiring investors or millionaires it would be: 1)Get control and ownership of your finances and budget before starting out, more money will only create more problems if you are not disciplined and prepared 2) Enjoy the journey, one day you will either be old and rich or old and poor but no matter what you will be old with your best years behind you, so don’t sacrifice too much now that you are miserable and don’t take anything too serious, there is always another opportunity and hopefully more time 3) Last, if you have a big enough “why” you can accomplish anything, I have met and tried to help countless people that have an excuse, the market is too risky, all the deals are gone, my kids are too young, my kids are in college, not right now maybe later, whatever the excuse is... they are the same, if you have a burning desire you will find a way but if you wait to take action and get complacent, you will never accomplish extraordinary things.

From there we get a countless swarm of people who chime in with the same story and everyone talks about how busy contractors are. 

I've had countless realtors send me properties as deals that are far from profitable which is exactly why I asked you to put down the address.

Countless people teaching you how to do it, very few people actually doing it successfully.Cheers,
