I am hoping to get a few tips on first, how do you get the conversation started with leasing companies or agents?   

As you're just starting out in Austin, focus on learning the local market, particularly areas with good rental demand and lower entry prices.

@Chloe Salcedoi'd start with a house hack.

The one thing that’s so annoying is when you watch a webinar that was sent by email on Safari if it cuts off you gotta watch it from the start and it didn’t let me fast forward. 

Cold calling, texting, and direct mail can feel like a never-ending loop, and I get why a lot of it doesn’t land strong results.For me, AI has been different because it’s not just another bulk messaging tool—it actually starts real conversations.

Just started using https://www.turbotenant.com/ it gives you a focal point to house documents, gives you a credit report and some other things but it's still your decision to make with the collected information. 

Scott as a starting reference.

Feel free to reach out if you’d like some additional resources or guidance on getting started.

There's no real wrong answer to your question, but the right answer starts with you figuring out what general direction you want to aim in.
