I imagine the only way it would be possible is to do the bulk purchase in cash, sell off a couple and then put debt on them?

Any repair issues the new acquisition has you will feel to much greater magnitude due to the property carrying a lot of debt.

However, when you combine the income from both the units, I think you will end up with more income after a year or two than with a SFH renting by the room.  

They are either a combination of a Maintenance/Tenant Management business or Accounting/Real Estate sales/Tenant management service. 

For instance if this is a $10M portfolio that's levered with loans totaling $9.1M, there's no equity that can be pulled but if this is a $1M portfolio with $100K of debt, its a different story.

You cant view a lot of FL probate dosuments directly from the recorders site but you can get the key people (petitioner/decedent) then combine with the case type (summary vs formal probate admin) then look through property records to see if  they own property and whether there are encumbrances.

And how much is your debt service, around $6,500? 

While short-term rentals in areas like Kissimmee, Florida, can pay for themselves and offer lifestyle benefits, the ROI typically doesn’t match what I see from my traditional portfolio of long-term rentals in North Texas.That said, short-term rentals can still be a great choice, especially if you're drawn to the area and the opportunity to combine personal use with investment income.

More than likely a blend of my money and other sources.So, I'm assuming "other sources" is equity, not debt.
