My goal is to move more onto the ownership/management side of the real estate industry as soon as possible, but am not sure the best way to go about making the switch.

You noted the possibility of acquiring a single-family turnkey rental.

Hello everyone,I just closed on a house and am exploring the possibility of turning it into a mid-term rental.

@Jaycee Greene I planned to approach the seller to explore the possibility of carrying a seller's note.

I recently opened a HELOC and I recall it's at prime for the first year (7.5% currently), and I only paid minimal closing costs.PML or HML I would expect rates >10%, plus points, possible prepayment penalties etc.

I'd like to add another SFH to the business  in the near future with the main goal being grow the business as fast as possible. 

Is it possible to get address for some properties sold by sdirawealth?

If you do a furnished LTR you will still have to worry about your furnishings and possibly consumables/linens if you plan on providing that sort of thing. 

His goal is to get as much out of the property as possible and give me an opportunity to do my first fix and flip.

You want the price that works for you in the best appreciation potential area possible.
