There is no way to know what the lending landscape and his options will be in five years from now - that type of loan could still be available or there could be some differences - including nuance with the specific property, location, etc

Baseline is also a great option. 

Some agents include the assumption option in public or private remarks.I also use property radar to search loan info on local properties.Do you have a VA loan entitlement available and gap funds ?

I offer tenants the option of terminating early.

Duplexes, triplexes, or other multi-family options?

QuickBooks is a great option for tracking rental property income and expenses, but there is a cost associated with it.

I saw a BP post which recommended a simplistic approach of  one LLC for operations and one Series LLC for asset holding, however it seems NC doesnt allow Series LLCWhat are my options and what are pros/cons?

) 2: Funding ( I know Hard money lenders are an option but other than that I'm clueless) and 3 which is the biggest obstacle right now is that I don't have any funding, I have 10k to my name and that's it.I've been doing wholesale for a couple of months and I know the basics of real estate but never bought or fixed a property.I would love to hear your suggestions and what could I do ?

Are you new in town or looking for long-distance investment options?
