The first one is always the hardest!  
Strongly recommend getting involved with a group or hiring a mentor/coach for a short amount of time. It will get you over the hump and push you through the analysis paralysis. 

I would recommend doing the property management yourself. The experience you’ll gain will be priceless when your portfolio grows and you need to manage a property manager. There are a lot of resources out there and coaching to help you learn all of this. Even if you select coaching, it will probably be cheaper than a property manager, and again the experience will be very helpful down the road. 

I work with many different realtors and it has worked out well over the years.  Whoever brings me the deal I am 100% loyal to them for that project.  There are many times I will only hear from one of them. If I was to sign that document I feel it is very possible I could and would have missed deals.  I also know that realtors work with a number of investors. Are they willing to sign a similar document that says they will bring me and only me each and every deal first?
So I wouldn't sign a document like that, although I promise I will work with them and only them on any deals they send my way.

I agree, if they are in decent shape and working, keep them there and use them.

First off great job in doing your due diligence!!  Many people would have missed that and just moved forward with the purchase.
There are a lot of things to consider here and would take a while to write out.  Would be happy to discuss more if you are interested. DM me if you would like.

Thank you for your service!

VA loan is a great way to get started!

I have been using Apartments.com for about 3 years and it has been great!!!  

Are you looking for one to analyze larger multi family properties or smaller buildings? I have one that works great for smaller properties.
