I have built relationships with a few investors who would be interested in partnering but it is not a large property and may not be worth the time to manage if the cash flow was split.Are there any other ways that I could turn this property into a rental instead of having it leech my savings for the next 4 months til the market picks up? 

I am very diligent about saving money and found real estate as an avenue for investment that could produce a passive income if I played my cards right.

They save money vs a 1 bedroom apartment and get an inbuilt group of “friends”.

It’s saved a lot of time wasted showing people who needed something different

The time it saves on emailing alone is well worth the cost.

The desk jockey told us that it could be an issue with the title on the property which could take anywhere from 1 month to 10 months to resolve.

You probably saved some people from getting taken.

There is no savings by dealing with the seller's agent.That's the long answer.The short answer is YES, you should use a buyer's agent. 

That is most of the savings that I have, which makes me tentative, but I am happy with the cash-flow.

It’s totally a comfort/control thing and I know saving money is on your mind but that also includes risk.You also mentioned you’d be responsible for “the materials”?
