Looking to start a cleaning business and seeking advice

Hi everyone,
I (20f) am preparing to launch residential cleaning service and want to keep my startup overhead low while I focus on saving money.
I plan to offer standard home maintenance, recurring schedules (weekly/bi-weekly), and move-in/move-out services. For marketing, I have a basic social media profile set up and some business cards printed out to hand our.
As a complete beginner starting from scratch, I would love some advice from those who have built this type of business:
What low cost or free marketing strategies worked best for landing your very first 3 recurring accounts?
If you approached local property managers or leasing offices to offer move out services, what is the best way to handle that conversation professionally?
What essential, budget friendly equipment or supplies are absolute must haves for a solo startup?
Thanks in advance for any tips or guidance!
