You have a purchase and sale agreement with the seller, negotiate price, submit it to an escrow company and they do all of the work.

He would not be able to see our inventory unless he already has a agreement to work with us.

Many of the cleaners or contractors locally will have a network of people for handymen, HVAC, Plumbing, etc. so reaching out and setting an agreement in place has been helpful - if you agree to be on call for us, we agree to pay you $$ for the service call + any additional time and materials on top of it. 

Management tasks like enforcing lease agreements and handling delinquent rent can be difficult, especially when the tenants know you are the owner/operator.

Had a tenant that was with me for 10 months with next to no issues wanted his girl friend to move into the house he was renting and to sign a two year lease agreement/extension.  

Review their management agreement.

Sometimes I include a personal check and a P&S agreement with no contingencies.  

Having an operating agreement with protections for you are essential, and making sure to run good numbers and having a solid plan in place are what you'd need for this to work out.

I have an executive sales background closing million dollar plus deals and successful agreements are built together at the table.

I am also working with a real estate agent for more than a month now, and had sign agreement with them until November.
