I would hit up the big ones, New Western and Fair Trade seem to be the biggest that would potentially offer an internship/mentorship. 

In addition I will not raise the rent this year.Do you think this is a good plan? 

Just like anywhere else I think the biggest challenge is finding homes to flip at the right price and being able to build a team of trades that can complete projects on time, within your budget and with the quality that can sell.With your experience I'm surprised you bought new construction. 

The original plan was to split the home and do a dual rental where one portion would be an Airbnb and the other a regular LTR, but after completing the rehab we decided to have it fully as an LTR.

I have a 9 to 5 which I plan on keeping, so all money earned from cash flow will be reinvested and saved to be used on the next property.

Try looking into zillow/Redfin and see what your potential rents you can get near the neighborhood by filtering the bedrooms/bathrooms of the intentional property that you are planning to buy.
