Hi Ryan,Welcome to the BP community and congratulations on taking the leap into real estate investing.Wishing you much success on your journey.

The process went smoothly, and I’m happy I got a tenant so fast, but the high supply of new builds in the area makes me nervous.

There are hundreds of thousands of people in this BiggerPockets community who are very successful at real estate investing and are willing to provide you with the same information as these guys, but for free. 

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

The process is a lot easier if you find the right agent.  

By trade I have been in occupational therapy for 10 years, but am willing to take a pay cut to really focus on what will make me the most successful investor I can be.

Quote from @Matt Wan: Can I purchase a property using a traditional mortgage without being physically present for any part of the process?

The work around is part of the application process is to tour the property, but still, why put yourself in that position?

If you do not find success there, there are some online companies like SpaceJoy, Decorilla, Havenly etc.

I realize I am not cut out for the entire REI process of consistently finding multiple properties for particular exit strategies.
