In my local MLS, it may not be true in your area, there is a field that a listing agent can fill out to designate the home they are selling has a FHA, VA or USDA loan which by default would make it assumable.You can also reach out to your favorite local title company and ask if they can provide you with a search tool like TitlePro247 or provide you with a list of current on the market homes with a FHA, VA or USDA loan in place. 

We did discuss as a board having a more hands on property management company but looking around the fees were quite high and the community liked keeping their HOA dues low.

I purchased my first rental property - a newer home in a high-appreciation market and neighborhood - with a business partner, and she and I have had the hardest time getting it rented.

I highly recommend that even if you combine lists, you still have a way to know where each contact came from originally for more effective marketing and targeted messaging.

Or tools, among a lot others, that you should have in your REI toolbox and learn how they influence each other and how to use them. 

A fully Pre Approved mortgage application and/or 24 hour loan commitment are two tools that buyers and investors can use to outbid cash offers on homes.

You need to bank more money and stop looking for high-percentage leverage that will collapse your future.Earn and learn.

The mortgage on the property is still fairly high with a balance of  $285k.

This needs to be at least positive, or your price is too high.

Its certainly hard to cash flow significantly in the current environment (high rates, high values etc) - I tend to think though that just "doing" a first deal even if it doesn't make too much is valuable versus getting stuck in analysis paralysis - the learning from the experience of actual doing it generally is 10X + even a ton of courses, info, spreadsheets etc
