I’d be happy to share some resources and point you in the right direction!

Whereas as a Coach segment would provide far more support for new REI people to find resources that fit their needs.  

Testing the entire BRRRR process to see if it's the right strategy for me long-term.building equity through rehab and build out will be best achieved with a lower priced cash purchase---typically wholesale. or word of mouth. depends on the region though. lots of ways to hunt for good BRRRR candidates, but hunting on the MLS typically wont get you low enough prices to make sense....My brother-in-law, who owns a landscaping company in Lee’s Summit, works with a lot of local builders and has been a huge help...This sounds like a great resource for finding subs that will do the work for you independently. most subs can do other types of work as well.If you’ve worked with trustworthy contractors or subcontractors in the Jackson County/MO area (especially those familiar with investment properties), I’d love your recommendations.

That takes a little time to develop those resources - but they naturally come with experience.

Just let the money live in the house and collect rent as the only ROI?

Are there any key resources, platforms, or strategies you’d recommend for a beginner? 

We try to set up at least 3 timeslots each week when we can schedule all the showings to minimize the tenant interuptions.If they won't cooperate or cancel too many scheduled showings, we warn them we will pursue collections to the fullest extent of the law. 

Limited labor and resources : Unlike the catastrophic fires in Lahaina Hawaii there are significant resources in Los Angeles to contribute to recover, but quality contractors, tradesman, plumbers, electricians and laborers have long been in short supply.

What if they have collections or judgments?

Would love to connect and be a resource to you anyway that I can - I'm a realtor, and investor in the area and have some tips & tricks you can implement into your business and see if it helps!
