Is there anything I should keep in mind about getting prequalified or making offers in my situation or anything in general?

FHA is good for low income, lower credit and offers higher DTI ratios to accommodate.

Although I haven't gotten a yes yet, the sellers weren't upset with my offer.

On the other hand, a multifamily property might offer steadier income and can be a bit more hands-off, especially if you opt for property management. 

How do I go about contacting someone to see the house and possibly make an offer?

I am always offering up properties to my investor group that are "almost" multi.

In Colorado Springs, I work with lenders that will offer a 0% loan on almost all of the down payment.

You'd still, however, need a separate skiptracing platform because I am not sure attomdata offers this service.

That, and lots of refi-only loan officers don't know what they are doing, but have been forced to offer purchase mortgages because no one is refinancing, so they just regurgitate FHA rules as if they were applicable to conventional, because they do not know any better.
