Would just be easier to compare myself to where you were when you started.

I’ve been working in property management/real estate since 2020 and really want to try my hand at starting my own company.

.- Total start up costs (Down payment + closing costs, furnishing, getting started on Airbnb etc...) = 200k USD- Family member wants to put in 50k USD of the start up costs, but doesn't want to be on the hook for the mortgage. 

I want the repair start ASAP but can’t seems  to find  the right  person that’s honest and won’t take advantage of me  ?

Located at the end of the dead end roadLooking for any good advice on getting started.1.

Where to start?

Would love to know if you think I'm missing something here, or what other options you think someone in this position could explore to start getting their feet wet and moving forward in the near term.

What you pay with labor will depend on if for instance one of my units still has a good pad and tack and strip then I just pay for carpet and installation cost.What you will pay will also depend on how much you are installing at one time.I don't like Berber for rentals.The design of the loop once it starts unraveling it can unwind pretty good an dis harder to get certain stains and pet stuff out of it.With carpet you want a Nylon carpet even if the cheaper version.Some carpet guys will try to sell you the rubber composite carpet stuff which is the really cheap stuff so it will stand up to tenant abuse.The problem is it can only be cleaned usually up to one time and then you need to replace it again.So I would rather get a cheaper nylon that can be re-cleaned many times over after installation for an additional .10 to .15 a sq ft extra than the super cheap stuff I will have to replace again.If you get 1 sq ft for carpet,pad,tack and strip,and labor install and it is Nylon you are getting one heck of a deal.Even at a carpet place usually you are at .40 to .50 for the pad and .50 to .60 for a cheap carpet.Then you have to do material to install and labor.I have seen sometimes if you have to do a small area you can pick up quality remnant pieces for real cheap and hit that type of number or buy in bulk.

Everyone has their own number here but I'd say start with 15% gross rents and see how that treats you for a couple years.
