Also, since you rely on this income, you likely aren't prepared to weather VERY negative situations such that they could have a significant personal impact on your own personal financial situation. 3.

I've read several books on REI thus far but realize that the great minds on this forum can also provide significant and relevant insight on strategies they'd apply in current market conditions if they could start over with $250k in cash.For context, my family and I reside out-of-country, at the moment, but will likely return to the US in 1-2 years.

Based on the income of the property no your personal income. 

BUT you can skip the income piece, as "qualifying" will be based on rents received, not your personal income.

DSCR loans are a great option for anyone that doesn't fit the conventional "box" - DTI isn't a factor, no employment info needed, no W2s, paystubs, tax returns, 1099s, etc. needed, you can close in an LLC if you want to and many lenders don't report to personal credit, so those loans won't affect your credit score/DTI for any conventional financing you might pursue in the future.

However from my observations the squatter occupied properties tend to be in lower barrier markets and I wouldn't personally want to spend my time and effort trying to create value in such neighborhoods.
