If you aren’t using a PM and have no clue where to start.

Have a 1960s 30 unit single story motel where we are coming up on some end of life issues: the cast iron plumbing is disintegrating underneath bathrooms, radiators are starting to leak, electrical is in poor condition, and just today, discovered significant termite damage affecting multiple rooms.

Any advice to help me start out would be great thanks!. 

Therefore my only way is to apply to the municipality for an update, I want to explore this option but I have no idea where to start..?

For example, I started with a condo, did a HELOC to buy my second LA house hack.

The guys said it best.Make sure you can actually get started before you get started like @John Underwood said.Plus I would really look at just getting more properties like @Mark Miles said.I think you will be ahead in the long run.

For me, I prefer, land banking and  multifamily development.

Let's take Mile's leads:Do you know how much money is sitting there in his inbox if he were to pay $125 STARTING BID for these leads? 

I know I may need to start securing that first in the future, but I am here now.

Southern EuropeSouthern Europe is what Mexico is to Northern Europeans, with the nuance that Southern Europe is full-fledged developed so it's mora a mix between Florida and Mexico with a weather more akin to California.
