I'd recommend determining your true return on your existing house, including $1,700 rent, less vacancy, management fees (should include whether you self-manage or not), taxes (will increase in SC more than your calculation), insurance as a rental, maintenance and cap ex (often ignored or under-estimated).  

Also, keep in mind the funding fee that will be added to the loan when running your numbers.

Vacancy happens...well that's great for PM who make money by turning over the property, lease up fees, etc.    

I would like to find a stable source of financing that costs about 4-6% inclusive of fees.

Typically wholesalers like their title company as they can control when the closing is and make sure everything is done properly related to wholesale fees etc.

In the case of realtors, I think it's mostly newbies who complain about agents and fees.

There is a cleaning fee included that pays for the house cleaning.I use a lock box for the key.I have wifi thermostats so I can save on the electric bill when no one is there.

Cannot imagine changing the names and setting up accounts (most with first timer fees) for students every year, or in some cases 8 months. 

We get a fee if it sells to the bank we get a commission if it sells to you.
