I did reach out to 1 local bank which was recommended by the listing agent and they are currently not lending to out of state investors.

Is he going to just tell you to knock on doors and write letters, or is he going to introduce you to well vetted agents in your market that are known to source deals and sell for realistic prices?

For LTRs, prioritize markets with population growth and strong job markets.Wherever you choose, work with an investor-friendly agent who knows the local market and can help you analyze deals.

Quote from @Andrew Steffens: I would recommend @Collin H. for PM - He may have other recs for you like agents, etc.Good luck!

Also have you been able to see the property in person or are you relying on an agent to be your eyes and ears on the ground?

It sounds like you are going to be a tire kicker wasting your time and your agents time with unreasonable expectations.

For the insurance, I would suggest you contact your agent but it has not affected my insurance to have pets. 

There will be a lot of agents advertising their market, and while this can be annoying, it can also be helpful when searching for areas to look in. 

That agent is very smart!
