You can also list non exclusive with agents and then if you find a tenant yourself dont pay commision. 

I guess I need to speak with multiple agents to find one that is ok with this. 

(total approx 200k)We cannot find anyone to loan us money (ok we tried like 2 places)---I just never thought this would be so difficult because we own a house outright & we are still getting turned down because of 2 late mortgage payments when my husband was injured & out of work for 5 months last year.We both work and made enough money on our first flip to buy the 350k house outright.I am a real estate agent & our area is very rural. 

I've read about the importance of landlord insurance in protecting against potential risks, but I'm unsure about the specifics of what I need and which providers are best.I would appreciate any advice or recommendations on the following:1.

@Morgan BrownYou may find better pricing by breaking these up into 2 sales contracts and 2 transactions. 

Are you still working to satisfy any Conditions/Stips (such as providing documents, etc)?

Very true, you make your money when you buy and that formula is dependent upon your search abilities, how big of a net you cast to find opportunities, your negotiating skills, your ability to identify great locations (often near good schools), and your ability to transform the property.

If you can find local deals (within 2 hours of where you live) that make sense, they can be gold mines. 2 hours seems to be the max that most people would drive if you HAD to do your own showings or move-in prep and local management proves unreliable.

Hello Friends, What websites and criteria do you'll use to find new markets?

If you happen to be in a LIHTC area, then I do have an impact lender who might do a OTC loan, but it would be with limited recourse options.Non-Recourse options are very tough to find these days, even at banks.
