I plan to couple my license with my investing prowess in order to grow my business and brand.

You're already in the right place to have the help you are requesting, just keep hopping into these forums and ask questions, read posts and comment and as @Mindy Jensen mentioned, you'll find yourself in communication with local investors who you may be able to do some work with & for over the next couple years to really get your feet wet in the industry.

Strategy 1: Buy, live in/fix up, after 1-2yrs move and rent it out ($700-$900 per month)Strategy 2: Buy, live in and Fix up, Sell after couple years.I trust strategy 1 the most. 

We took the plunge and bought the property a couple of days after the original post as our time to decide was limited.  

The building has a parking lot with no cover and a brand new 30-year roof.

We have done 13 flips over the last couple years and still don't have a consistent go-to guy. 

We have been under contract on a 4 plex for a couple months.

I am calling a couple local investors to see if anyone is interested in partnering with me on any  of my marketing efforts.
