Pretty solid points here, I would also like to add refinancing with a non-traditional DSCR based loan can assist with getting access to cash quickly as there are many lenders that have a lower seasoning requirement. 

I’m grateful for the assistance you provide.

.• No entity to close in: Though an LLC/entity is not a must-have, it's a nice-to-have prior to seeking financing.

You can do FHA with 3.5% down- less in some states with down payment assistance, but you're better off doing a conventional at 5% down if you can swing it. 

If they close and sign up with us then we do a site walk etc and begin onboarding.I am also a broker who assists in finding the property, doing walkthroughs etc and I get paid a commission at closing from seller.Long story short I would expect them to give you an analysis of properties you are interested in for free based on the hopes of future business, if you want them to go above and beyond and attend showings etc then ask them if they are interested and offer them compensation for their time :)

Brandon, I see you're in OK, I'm in MO, you might connect with me and I'll be happy to assist or answer questions.

If you don't have a virtual assistant yet, I'd recommend getting one to help with things like tenant communications and coordinating contractors.

Let me know if I can assist in any way, and congrats on the new baby.
