I'll also keep all documents organized and available.

I would recommend developing a strategy and location, and probably even organizing financing before you find an agent, because until you have all that figured out most agents won't be able to help very much because to them you would not appear as a serious buyer/ investor on paper.

I've tried calling tenants rights organizations, but the minute I say I am a landlord they either give me an unhelpful referral or say something snarky and hang up on me. 

It will convert pictures of paper invoices or whatever into PDFs on the fly wherever you are and you can email them to yourself, then either put them in an email folder for each property, or what I do, download them from email and save them in dropbox (I prefer this over google drive) which uses normal windows folder, and organize digital folders for each property and have subfolders for insurance, loans, tenants, appliances, repairs, you name it.

The organization is (as best I can tell ) a non-profit run by lawyers that sue insurance companies so they are biased to the homeowner, which for you is good.https://www.uphelp.org/blog/north-bay-fires-insura...2.

Companies like Movement Mortgage and Loan Depot can get loans closed in 10 business days if they have all of their documentation at application, but if they're adding DPAP to the equation, it takes at least 30 days; that is if the organization that's doing the DPAP (like DCHPAP or in Virginia, VHDA) has funding dollars left. 

Also, be organized and ready to provide budgets, draw schedule, LLC documents, and Builder's risk and Liability Insurance.
