This will help you understand your options and decide if it's the right time to hire a pro. 

Start there and see what your options are.....don't panic yet!

There are some home loan options that require as little as 3.5% or even 0% down.

Seller financing, subject-to deals (taking over the seller’s mortgage), or lease options can create terms that work for both parties.

I understand the safest option is to have a lawyer review the lease, but I figured I'd try to answer my beginner questions here and not waste the lawyers time (and my money) on the "for dummies" explanation.Thank you!

The other option I have not seen mentioned yet is finding a corespondent who can originate for you.

Another option is to rent it out, take out a cash-out DSCR loan, and invest the cash in another investment.

There are two options I have offered and I want to get a check on here if I am off base with my offer or if I need to push harder.

I say that because every decent legit place I know of in market, yes offers the option of doing just tenant placement, for self-managing. 

Because I've been having the hardest time finding a new CPA, I wanted to open my options by considering virtual firms.
