Just watching YouTube videos gives you only part of the solution. 

I made 12 videos to launch Express Offers when it started at eXp and they had good intentions, but you have to understand that all of these programs and outside programs are based on the same model.

I checked out a video overview of Pace's yesterday, and he said something similar about agreements.

So if you have to go remote (because you live in one of those markets) spend some time in your target city, plan on being there often, video call the contractors every day.

The videos of how extensive the damage is heart breaking.

Below is a perfect example of I just went to the BP youtube page.The first video is how to turn $500k into $1.5M by someone who recently has not had the most positive reviews on BP.The second is how to replace your salary fast and have $350k in income in 3 years. 

3 I keep seeing these "AirBnB is Dead" youtube videos.

Many YouTube videos and books on the subject will help, too.I found that practicing analyzing deals was very beneficial.

You have to find the right strategy that fits your options...listen to everyone and verify what you hear because everyone will have their own opinion...Most of the west is more expensive than the Midwest and Mideast of the country...You might want to visit the areas and interview your potential team in person or trust what you are shown through videos of the areas or ... sometimes you can make a killing on an area that everyone thinks is unsafe and you find a that is very safe and cheaper than it should be, because it is near unsafe area or people think it is unsafe.
