On market, offered 30K below asking and got it How did you finance this deal?

On market, multiple offers so had to pay above asking.

It was fully flipped and we offered slightly less than asking.

Then make certain they can offer what you need. 

Your offer to purchase should include a requirement that the Seller provide all documentation and agree to sign an estoppel certificate (also called an estoppel form or agreement).

When looking for a PM, consider these criteria:1) the experience and credentials of the broker who supervises the company as well as the lead property manager2) the services they offer and how they line up with your needs and expectations3) the use of technology to make their job and yours easier 4) if they have a landlord-tenant attorney on retainer to help guide them on legal issues (not to mention the creation of lease agreement, landlord forms and notices, etc.)5) their process and policy for a) listing, b) application, c) tenant selection, d) routine inspections, e) maintenance services, f) property and tenancy update reports to you, g) lease enforcement policy, and f) move-out process.6) property owner reviews (caution: you can't always rely on Google reviews, because they may not reflect actual quality of the company, but still) 7) beneficial programs for both owner and tenant 8) a property management agreement that would indicate they know what they're doing and have the experience to know what matters in a PMA.

The screening they offer works well. 

I responded to her FSBO ad and made my offer which she happily accepted: a 36 month lease option; I'll bring her mortgage current, (1 month, $800), and continue making the monthly payments; option to purchase price of $88K, (my estimate of value, $100K); and I had the right to buy, sell, sublet, or assign the property at any time during the 36 months.

If you are willing to put down a larger down payment it might make sense with the flexible underwriting they offer, especially if you are going to run it as a MTR.
