Zelle is too easy to dispute and not secure enough.

I know alot of people are charging 30-40 bucks a month around here and that covers the supplies to do the furnace and fridge filter but its still on the tenant to actually do the labor part.

A smart seller will have note, deed of trust/mortgage/etc. prepared by a local real estate attorney (yes, he/she may work with/at the title company) and be sure the security instrument is properly recorded in the land records. 

I can tell you that you won't secure a REFI term longer than the term that is left on your lease. 

So does the time to secure a property for sale, insurance and taxes will accrue.

Many of our clients have done this and secured much better terms....EricThis spreadsheet decision is based on what you can afford and when you expect interest rates to fall.

Its essentially in the longterm best interest of the property owner to ensure there is a non-compete clause in all leases; merely for the benefit of securing longterm relationships with the tenants.A diverse tenant mix can attract a wider audience and contribute to a more vibrant environment.

Credit score can help you secure a great rate so make sure to get started on that if you aren't already.

While I'm not entirely discouraged, I feel like I've invested significant resources (LLC, website, domain) without securing a deal that generates cash flow.Any advice or guidance would be greatly appreciated. 

That's not really a full story so it's hard to say, but generally, if you don't feel secure or confident in the person you hired, you shouldn't have hired them.
