Basically types of deals where you will pay the money back quickly, but I have heard of some folks getting financing for longer term with lower rates. 

It depends on the market, the location and the type of single family home.  

Is there a combination of lending products and tactics you see that can make it possible to refinance after possibly 2 years and get out a large enough portion of funds to use towards the downpayment on another property?

How do you become that agent who gets these types of leads and therefore listings? 

You'll see rate improvements at 25% and 30% down for most loan products.

i am confident i can manage the relatively small amount of requests, and have heard some good things about apps and software that are a "one stop shop" for landlords that allow payment, leases, and repair requests. i have one out of state rental property with a plethora of options for handymen and contractors around. i have been paying a property management company 8% plus all of their inflated costs of repairs and fees and with insurance going up it has really opened my eyes to my margins not as healthy as i would like.do you have a certain product you have used or use or would recommend?

I would look on loopnet orCrexi to get a sense of the market, type and how long they have been on the market.

Hi - you sound like a perfect candidate for the "DSCR Loan" option - its the loan type thats popular wwith investors and one of the big reasons why is the exact situation you are describing - running into DTI troubles. 

Best to involve attorneys/lawyers as well, but it depends on the type of financing you get.  

She was the type of person who thought that by paying rent she becomes an owner of the property.
