If you intend to occupy this as a primary residence you could "assume" the loan meaning you would personally need to qualify with the existing lender to take on the loan in your own personal name. 3.

As someone who has read Harry Potter, it seems the best way to get the attention of the landlord is to send a scary looking giant to their home residence with a kindly worded letter.More seriously, I was on the other side of the coin previously where my wife put the ads up under her accounts instead of mine, so I couldn't check them without getting on her phone and I was inundated with people looking to see the property (probably 50 over a 5 day period) and was trying to send semi-personalized notes to each one--and it all ended up being too much to handle and I ended up ghosting or not replying to many people after I found an applicant.

DSCR loans are widely available to first time investors, but they are considered business purpose loans and you will be required to sign documents stating that neither you nor any family member will occupy the property as your or their primary residence as long as that loan is in place. 

So you may not NEED a lease signed for your primary residence already, especially since that's a lot of stress to find a new tenant and have a lease in place while you're under contract on another home.
