@Monty Alston sorry to hear about the tough situation that you are in but glad you are being proactive about it.

I have purchased different mentorship programs and have completed REI courses but when it comes to taking action, I am getting stuck because I don't know if I am missing steps or not.

Need to move in immediately is a red flag to understand.Responsible tenants usually plan their moves and thus need to give notice to their old landlord and also are proactive in lining up a new property substantially before the move day arrives. 

Step 1: Ensure you can get financing (is it a cash purchase or will you need a loan). 

- If so, 1031 into something bigger and easier to manage and then when you pass, the inheritor receives your property(s) at a stepped up basis - subject to Inheritance Tax limits.Otherwise, sell one every 1-5 years when you need the cash, so you can plan expenses to offset capital gains.

These programs often assert to guide you step-by-step through the process, provide assistance with funding, and connect you with contractors.

Ideally, I’m looking for someone with solid knowledge and would be willing to walk me through the process step by step.

There's no step by step guide but there are key things : Learn: RE strategies, what interests you, what do people in your area need.Connect: find a mentor, accountability group and be around those doing what you want to do.Help: solve problems- do people need dealflow, property mgmt, construction expertise, etc.

Most will have the public off the shelf, and those DO come with the actions that NO they do NOT have to give you ___ time notice, they may, but they also may take proactive measure to immediately act.
