He has been helping me a lot over the past month and some of the things he has had me do i feel was just a test to check my commitment and dedication.

I am very active on many social media platforms (IG/YT) but not sure the rules on tagging those here.

You'll certainly get bites on all of those platforms.

You can first try different social media platforms first and see which one has the best result and drives more traffic, then you could put more effort on those specific platforms.

They suggest that if you can't dedicate at least $1,000/month for 6 months, don't do PPC yet.I'm currently relying on DM and cold-calls from D4D and Bird Dogs. 

I have been calling other complexes (as mentioned above) and simply asking them what their rent is as well as looking at "apartments for rent" on Google but if anyone knows of a platform that expedites this process, that would be very helpful!

You can’t just do a post on any platform saying “send me your deals!!!”

Since it sounds like you're just getting started, it is worth noting that there are a lot of great tools out there you can use to screen, but I would suggest a platform that helps with not only listing the property (publishing it to 10+ other major listing sites) but also comprehensive tenant screening which includes a nationwide criminal background check, credit check, eviction history check, and requires references for prior tenancy.

This is definitely something that has taken some time to iron out as far as making sure everything works as intended, but having said that, there have been quite a few changes/updates to the platform since the Rentalutions days.
