I was wondering if any real estate agents might have any advice or resources that I can use to begin my journey?

We network with other fix & flippers teaching them how to properly structure a seller financed note so that it has value on the secondary market, we then buy a partial from them to take out most, if not all, of their cost basis so they can recapitalize and go do another deal. 

Happy to be a resource as I know all of this is challenging.

Don't waste that resource on bad assets.  

Meetup.com is a good resource for those but some of the groups will also post here on Bigger Pockets Marketplace too.

BiggerPockets has already been a great resource, and I’m excited to dive deeper into the real estate world.

Maybe I failed to give enough insight to what I currently have in mind for anyone to properly respond to that concern.Would you mind if I sent you a message and maybe tried to have a phone call some day?

Hopefully your one side will vacate properly and clean. 

You've definitely come to the right place to find resources and connections.Here, you'll find several knowledgeable and experienced agents who can help guide you in securing the right property.

I would advise running your rents conservatively and vet property managers properly before signing anything.
