But now I feel a little stuck because this experience hasn't been good and I'm stuck in a partnership I'm not comfortable with.

Ali,If you want to learn some of the tips and loopholes on the finance or banking side feel free to reach out or send me an email. 

Feel free to ask anything, anytime.Cheers!

I don't have time to mentor someone unless they want to compensate me, which I don't feel right about. 

On one hand, I feel that it is a great property and a great time to buy while competition is low.

Feel free to reach out if you ever want to chat.

Since I don't have that requirement, I attract many potential tenants eager to physically see a property before investing 25 minutes online and spending $25-$50 only to be disappointed by a no-show agent, which can feel like being scammed.I keep the showing process short and straightforward, lowering the barrier for more applicants in my pipeline that I can potentially approve!

-if you can't go there in person, look at some properties in person, talk to some people in person, build a network in person and get a feel for an area in person, i would not buy. 

Do you rely on specific data sources, gut instincts, or perhaps a blend of both?

So far so good.I do feel like you attract more tenants by offering the W/D.
