Ten days after tenant moved out it rains and few hours later she said she had some minor leak.

My goal is to convert at least 1/4 of the units in a multifamily I buy into medium term furnished rentals (gradually) to bring in more cash flow.

You love the house and there is a likely opportunity that you may be moving back to the Austin area.  

It's one of the hottest markets in the US right now with so much population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing here (26B Intel headquarters being built here, 68K+ enrollment in Ohio State University, Amazon, FB, Google, Honda, Nationwide, Anduril, etc.).

You tell them what you are looking to do, and find out what their goals are, and start building up an investor database.

Uncontested foreclosures move faster.Also - call the lender and apply for loan mod/forbearance etc.

(If you love the house and are moving in, and have the money, that’s fine, but it isn’t investing.)b.  

I'd also start the marketing process 30-45 days before current tenants move out in most cases - it just seems easier to re-let a place that is currenlty occupied than one that's been sitting empty for a while for some reason. 

The goal is to complete renovation within 6 months in between guests and then refinance in the next 1-2yrs to pay off the seller in full!

Many of the residents there eventually move to our property.
