@Jorge Abreu - He used to work for elevate did he not (I believe that is what it said online before he scrubbed his linkedin)? 

Focus on identifying promising neighborhoods in the north or east bay by leveraging your husband’s contractor network, local real estate agents, and online deal-finding platforms.

Use your skills to network with local investors and professionals by attending meetups in the Conroe and Houston area, joining online forums, and connecting with property managers or realtors.

Was it via docusign or some other online signing platform? 

Sometimes, just offering to handle some basic admin work or help with marketing can get your foot in the door.If you’re not sure where to begin, you could take a quick online course to brush up on the tools or skills you think might be useful.

Your state law and notice can be found online. 

Just shop around online, look for properties similar to yours, add them to favorites and watch them to see how long it takes for them to rent.

In online forums, the danger I've experienced is the "national" effect. 

I still get junk leads but that is to be expected on just about every online lead platform.

Online metrics can be good, but they wont paint the whole picture.
