Start growing your network, look on Facebook/BiggerPockets for different events, find a mentor doing what you want to do, and get to know the local lenders/brokers.

I have heard Texas and most areas would be closer to $100 when its all said and done.You can find good contractors through realtors, HBA in your area, REI Facebook groups and meetups etc.Make sure to check references of past and current clients, visit some jobs in process as you can tell a lot about a contractor by how the job site is kept up and organized.

I feel like just about every month, I see RE investors with 1-2 year's experience starting a new fund and advertising on Facebook for LP's, as well as the daily "JV deals" that straight-up violate securities laws.

Renting for all my independent life now, I've noticed rentals I've found were on certain platforms being advertised, like craigslist, apartments.com, Facebook marketplace, and landlords posting to their personal social media accounts.However, I can't imagine these avenues being the only advertising methods, when you have something like vacancy to fill.

Networking and community building through platforms like BiggerPockets, local REI meetups, and real estate Facebook groups can help diversify your portfolio.

My first two weeks I had to find out what Facebook Groups were, some training is done through FBG's  some is done through Zoom, and certain things have to be done, and training met before they will work with you at all.

Hey @Karina Busch, there's a great Facebook group called, "Bookkeepers for Real Estate Investors", that is centered around what you need help with.

Have you looked into attending local meetings and joining Facebook groups?

You can find them in local Facebook groups or through recs from other investors.

Post in Facebook Groups.
