Feel free to reach out with specific questions once you ahev narrowed down your plan. - Chris Kersey 

For example, instead of putting down 25% on one property, they put 5% down on 5 properties to spend the same amount of capital. 

My current home was a duplex at one time and I was planning to keep it and rent it as one.

Based just on your DSCR calculations, it appears this property is significantly under-performing, or if it is operating well, then it is significantly over-priced.If your plan is to reposition the property, then you need a bridge loan or private loan to acquire and manage the property. 

My plan is to actually end up with fewer properties but less debt and more paper assets because I very much am slowly but surely becoming a "tired landlord" 

I estimate construction costs, create plan sheets, and project manage for my every day job.

We plan to sell this home and buy a new primary residence next year.

Lots have free trials/free plans that you can take advantage of and see what works for you.

I would ONLY consider that though if they had a real plan in place to catch up and I would likely verify what they said. 2.

Definitely gave me a game plan on how to move next!
