I didn't want to, but I am considering self-managing my newly-purchased SFR in Cleveland (I'm located in CT). 

ThanksSandeep Hey Sandeep, Depending on your FICO, DSCR ratio, loan amount size, and property location, you could get a much more favorable rate at a similar LTV and term 

But for my local market I am bullish, so we continue to grow our rental protfolio, maybe I can still get a few more AO's before the spring market hits us. 

FHA loans go up to 96.5% and many local banks will finance up to 95%.

:)  The rental market is really strong, but I'm not sure if you live locally or not.

Where is the property located? 

Create a team of skilled agents, lenders, attorneys, and contractors, network with local communities, and evaluate transactions with resources such as Zillow and Redfin.

I am a local realtor, and my fiancé and I run a property management company in Indy, where we manage 60+ rentals.

I have stayed in STRs that provide local guides of top restaurants, activities, stores etc.

Regarding an attorney, it depends what you're looking to speak with them about - i.e. entity structure, partnerships, property acquisition, contract terms, etc.Anything related to a property or a deal can wait until the week of (sometimes the day before) contract review.For starters, I would recommend attending local investor meetups.
