While you are doing all that get a title rep from a local office to send you a title report, get any items from the seller on disclosures etc so you are not going into the purchase with a bad foundation that will cost you $15K to fix and kill the deal before you open and or close on the property.

The buyer's agent had to show MF disclosure and seller's agent communication before the seller side agreed to turn it over. 

Furthermore, ask your lender for a loan disclosure to know exactly what you'll be paying each month.

Texas is a non-disclosure state.

I am an investor in Ocala (full disclosure also a real estate broker and property manager).  

You can get a purchase contract from any RE agent (they would provide the standard CAR forms with disclosures) or you can have your attorney draft one for you.

If you want the best rates possible, you can refinance your home as a primary home (rather than a rental), but that means you will sign loan disclosures stating its your intent to occupy the home for the next 12 months.  

First reason is regardless of your exit strategy (how you make your money on the deal) you have to disclose "previous fires" on the sellers disclosure.

Do you worry they skipped disclosures, make errors in your note agreement and or flub up your transaction if they really are that bad?   

I'd suggest you find a solid mortgage broker (full disclosure, I am one), that operates in your market and/or can do what you're asking them to do.
