I've seen some conflicting information online, so getting it right from someone who does it would be amazing!

Networking is also crucial for success in real estate, so look for local investor meetups or connect with others online.

@Kainoa Oneha Education is 100% back, whether in person or online.  

That said, good tenants around here have their own washers and dryers, so I would end up having to store those appliances.

I remember the few experienced people I was able to speak with back in the day before online forums.

Im open to conventional financing or seller financing.To find properties, you can network with local agents and brokers, join local real estate investment groups, use online platforms like Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin, send direct mail campaigns, drive for dollars, network with property managers, and explore seller financing.Good luck!

If I can't find what I want second hand then purchase from local furniture store for heavy use items like beds/frames, dressers, dining sets.

When talking to property managers, ask questions regarding any guarantees they offer owners and refer to any online reviews to get a better idea of how tenants and other owners feel about working with the company.

We use DealCheck to underwrite deals and QuickBooks Online for everything related to accounting and numbers.Classes allow for separate P&Ls for each property.

Luckily I was in a buyer's market at the time, but about 75% of agents did not even respond to me and I could not set up appointments online because I was not a MLS member.
