I don't think there's a right answer but you need to know what you are doing.When you take multiple applications at the same time and then pick the "best" from the pile, you run a real risk of a discrimination complaint.

I would personally pick option C.Place tenant myself and self manage for the following reasons:I don't like giving away 10% of my rents.No one is going to care about my property more than me.I have systems in place that allow my to self manage with minimal time.I have a great support staff that I can text when there is a repair that is needed.I rarely take calls from tenants and tell them to text me to keep from getting caught up in their drama.If they don't pay rent on time and it is a repetitive problem I file an eviction to train them they must pay on time or go somewhere else.They can pay rent with Zelle, paypal or deposit rent into my bank account (most deposit into my account)It is their job to pay rent on time I do not collect or chase rent it comes to me.My rental portfolio is very passive with little interaction required by me.

Contact some local investors and property managers and pick their brain to see what strategies and price points are profitable so by the time you are financially able to make a move, you will hopefully already have a few properties to pull the trigger on
