Should effort be placed in a baseline business plan to determine the best option to start in for this field?

Exhaust all of your conventional or government financing options before you get into DSCR. 

I think there are better options out there - particularly cards that offer cash back and other perks.

Quote from @Stevan Stojakovic: Given that your property isn’t a primary residence, a cash-out refinance is likely your best option to access equity.

Check county recordsUse online search tools like PropStream, Reonomy, PropertyShark, etc.Use local GIS mapping tools (ask your county)Search online directories for LLC or TrustTalk to neighborsHire a skip tracerSend a letter to the propertyThere are a lot of options.

My overall goal is to become a mortgage broker as I like the idea of having all lenders as an option and working for my self.I really appreciate the help! 

What followed after that was an offer from them to start making weekly payments until my entire Inner Circle membership fee was refunded over 10 weeks, followed by sending me a new e-sign settlement doc with those stipulations in place of the original - even after I refused the "payment plan" option via email earlier today (as you can imagine, given the experience thus far, the last thing I'm interested in chasing my money/answers even further/longer).

DSCR cash outs will allow you up to 75% with reasonable rates and 80LTV with higher rate options, but only for SFH rentals.
