By the end of this month, I’ll have saved up around $25,000, and I’m really eager to break into real estate.If you were in my shoes, how would you use that 25k to get started?

We do Self Storage mainly, but the above fits your background better.  

I'm considering just expanding my storage space for my Google Drive and continuing to use Sheets/Docs etc.I've found success with organizing through Google but would love to hear what others use and how they're staying organized.

BP has a lot of useful resources to help you, I have found the most useful thing for me to do was to actually attend a physical meetup or two as it lets you brush shoulders with others in the same shoes (or have been in the same shoes in the past). 

You could also add a couple of local contacts for storage places they could utilize.They might respond by asking how much they could rent the unit for; I would avoid this.

Medium-term rentals provide consistent cash flow and avoid storage costs, while house hacking offers location-independent flexibility and strong rental demand.

Quote from @Erica Calella: I could see why you are concerned here, but if I was in your shoes, I'd try hold out as long as possible before jumping ship. 

Located in Ohio.Interested in: small multifamily (sub 5), small apt (sub 20 units), self storage. 

Buy the heirs' interest in the estate via assignment and then step into their shoes and become the bene and the admin/exec.

I'm scouting my first rental property, but in similar shoes as yours in terms of looking outside of my market.
