Perhaps there are consultants that can help me identify the market that fits my goals, identify target properties and offer prices, and underwrite and help during the acquisition, and I'm curious if such support exists? 

Many BP members have written reviews for agents they have worked with so you can contact them and see if they fit what you are looking for. 

We are definitely leaning toward buying something that would fit our needs now.

You have some viable options that fit your situation.

DSCR loans fit the bill. 

Networking: Are there any investors selling properties that might be a good fit or brokers interested in helping us find properties to invest in?

@Tim ORourke - not sure if this would help or even fit, but what about reaching out to any local, large REI related company (property management, development, investing, etc) and see if they will let you do an efficiency audit in one of their areas. 

The following Monday I tour my client through the property and it wasn’t the perfect fit, but it was good enough.

So unless there’s a law that says only 2 family in the area maybe they don’t like the shed and it doesn’t have any architectural value to the property and if you make it look more like it fits in with the building and the surrounding property they let you do it.

The lease should include a frequency for when the grass should be cut OR a maximum grass length - otherwise it may be hard to prove violation of the lease if the tenant argues that he/she is cutting the grass quarterly - or when he/she sees fit.
