So out of state is not an option for me yet.

It is very user friendly and has a good amount of design options.

I realize I would get more if I only referred a single lender but as with any referrals, I believe it is best to give clients more than a single option.

There are good opportunities without deploying huge capital or there are luxury options.

I was thinking they could take care of things like research options for insurance, find contractors for repairs on rentals, intake tenant maintenance requests, assist with finding deals, and organize the documentation for each property.

What are my options to get this deal done? 

.- Your options are to either wait out the 12-month waiting period and refinance into an investment property loan using a conventional loan or look for a non-conventional loan.

Have you spoken with the Seller on the option of Seller financing? 

Tampa Can Be a Good Option,it has great rental opportunities in neighborhoods like South Tampa, Tampa Heights, Seminole Heights, Carrollwood, and Brandon.Before buying, analyze costs like purchase price, rental income, management fees, repairs, and vacancy rates to ensure a good investment.Other Florida markets like Orlando or Jacksonville might offer similar benefits depending on your investment goals.

BUT, How about an alternate scenario?
