suggestions to banks that offer 10 down?

Your job now is to make a smart first purchase.

The presence of major employers like BMW, Michelin, and Fluor Corporation has led to job growth and economic stability in the region. 

Besides that, my taxes are relatively simple, W2 job. 

If the goal to invest in real estate is to quit a w-2 job, I don't suggest you doing this in early stage of your investment. 

I would suggest an AirDNA report and any other documentation you can get from property managers, other hosts, etc. that support the higher income figure.

He does a great job!
