Many vendors I have called quote less and they take credit cards directly from the owner but to use the credit card through RPM preferred you would have to pay a hefty fee.

I'm no expert but you might want to try a self direct 401K. 

For them it is probably safer than the stock market and they can use 'cash' or Self Directed Retirement funds.

Could anyone direct me to investor friendly real estate agents and banks in the areas?

You can message me directly to discuss further or get contact info (since BP won't let me put it into this comment). 

I have enough money saved up right now and good credit to be able to start something, I just want to making sure I start in the right direction.

If not, he would be able to point you in the right direction.

If the tenants want to give the former tenant a portion of the deposit back, we recommend the new tenant pays the old tenant directly; alternatively, if the new tenant pays us some portion of the deposit, and there wasn't any damages to the house, and the existing tenants agree, we send that same money to the old tenant. 

This morning I received an email stating the the title company will not insure the property with the heirship affidavit ( keep in mind, my processor was informed multiple times there was no probate of the estate because the state did not require it when we went through the legal process.)I am looking for advice/direction on what steps I should take next.
