If not I may just have to start a property management firm and crush the competition.

You can find a good place on the MLS that has a 4-5 bedroom (which has less competition on it), and look for a place that is for rent for awhile, meaning he is motivated to rent, he may put the rental price to high and that is why he is not renting it yet,  but for you it's a perfect opportunity. 

They provide quality job at very competitive price.

Pre-approval can also give you an idea of what price range you can afford and can make you a more competitive buyer in the market.There is typically no time frame for when you must act on a property after getting pre-approved for a loan.

Idea was to secure favorable mortgage before rising rates while also leveraging extremely competitive rental market.What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Seasonally this is a better time to buy and if there's a "Fed pivot" in 2023 interest rates will come down slightly and increase your competition. 

Sure enough, my competition over the years had to move away, and I realized the power of appreciation and depreciation.

I think that information would be helpful in determining how much cash you'll need.One thing to note about that market is that it's very competitive.

The chances of someone thinking of you instead of your competition when they are in the market goes way up, if you have had this laid back, fun opportunity to meet them.
