As it relates to the onsite manager, the generic strategy is to interview the existing tenants to find a capable, trustworthy, willing person to be your manager. 

I'd also encourage you to get out to some of the local real esate investor meet ups and to schedule coffee sessions or the like with some of the players here in town. 

@Kiera Underwood i decided to save up more, than invest once i'm fully capable 

I currently use Buildium and it also has this capability, although there are still some wrinkles that need to be ironed out in this software.

It's the capability of not having cashflow to weather the rainy day.  

The lender/servicer/bank/finance company/seller will determine if your offer is acceptable or not.If it's in foreclosure, AND its listed for sale, there are two competing players here.

The employment history is weak (6 months of employment).They are capable of paying the 1.5 month security and the first month rent.They have a n active “consent to enter judgement for possession” with the recent landlord because of the repairs the landlord failed to make. 

There are a lot of great options out there; aside from providing the basics (ie. listing tool to get the property published, scheduling tool to schedule viewings, tenant screening, digital lease creation tool, rent collection tool, and maintenance tracking tool), some services also offer your tenants additional capabilities which makes it an easier sell on your end when getting them to transition over (ie. their ability to report on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus; this can create an added incentive for making sure they pay that rent on time).
