I have a friend who is a realtor who is willing to help me look at properties and teach me some things.

Look at Bill Gates and Jeff Bezos, the have outright crazy poverty in their own backyard and pouring millions along with our local gov’t (~90 million/year spent fighting homelessness) who’s job is to provide affordable housing and they are ALL failing.Our RE is extremely nuts and driven affordability to the far corners of our state and even then still is by no means affordable by national standards.Only thing I could think of is hire low income folks, teach them skills in building homes, and have them as your labor pool.

Looking for someone to help teach and guide me through the process.

Not much you can do with a Psych degree except become a professor and teach Psych degrees to other people.  

@Wayne Brooks not everyone is seasoned and was looking to teach my experiences

Once it is filed the clock starts ticking and if they do not pay as promised you are not wasting time in the event it leads to a eviction.A landlord should teach their tenants that a pay or quit will always be filed on the second of the month every time in the event rent is not paid in full by midnight on the 1st.

Trec.texas.gov will show you who is approved to teach.

-it teaches you nothing in terms of finding deals-it takes away your self reliance, and your parents may perceive that you owe them for doing you a favor-It will encourage you to take a lackluster or even bad deal because you think you are helping them out or that it is easier -You won’t truly be investing in real estate, just buying a personal residence 

Either getting together and teaching me some things.

You can try things to save a few cents here or there like postcards and yellow letters etc. but I can tell you that many mentors teach the most simple approach.That is a 50 cent stamp on a standard envelope with your own, personal, relatable letter inside that you have put some thought into.Your goal is to get someone to:1.
