Everything so far has been done through email, the pre-screening, scheduling showings of the property, as well as the application (im using RentPrep) Another thing, with using RentPrep I had the option to have the applicants pay the fee themselves to run the screening (I used this option with all applicants) Im wondering If this still qualifies as the ''landlord'' accepting a screening fee, if not, would I still need to send a denial to the applicants? 

Next stop is the bank to see what I can qualify for. again thanks for all the advise 

I am not familiar with work you do, but I would recommend looking if you are qualified to invest into Solo 401K.

I’ll qualify this post and say that I focus solely on A and B class properties, so these processes won’t work for all asset classes.

Ask them what you need in order to qualify. 

Most exclusive right to sell agreements have a grace period where within a certain amount of time after the listing expires, if an offer is accepted from a buyer who was found while you held the listing, you are entitled to the commission. 

Are income sources like capital gains excluded from qualifying for a mortgage?

You either need to learn more or have a qualified real estate agent help you.  

Also, it may be a challenge to fill the park with more qualified candidates if it's in a C type of neighborhood.

It could be renting out the extra bedroom to a friend, etc.If you can't yet qualify for a loan, and let's say you are renting a home/apartment from someone, and you had an extra bedroom, you could ask your landlord if it'd be OKAY to rent out the extra bedroom to someone, while you live there as well.But if you could get someone to help you get a loan to begin with, I think living in a duplex or a home and renting out the other sides or bedrooms, would be a GREAT way to get started.For now, dig into all the awesome resources on this side and LEARN as much as possible!
