As David said, there is the smartmove and similar programs which lets you direct tenants to a website to order the report for you, they are very popular for small landlords with one or two properties.  

My question is is there a similar type of program or creative financing method I can use on a SFR?

We started our using the Carlton Sheets program and I bought first property, a multi family for $500.00 bucks out of pocket.

we do have a program for the DIYer.  

It's through the HomePath / Home Buying program thru Fannie Mae.
