Is wholesaling something that would fit your style.

I also try to know my tenant's life style, I know the teenager plays the stereo loud, so showing after school might not the best time for me.

@Bob To minimize you downpayment, you'll need to get a Fannie/Feddie style residential loan.

Assuming you did adequate screening then your task is to be sure you are establishing a strong system of reminders so when the 1st of the month arrives there is a clear expectation of rent being paid first.  

Within 3 hours is strongly preferable.  

An LLC with no real purpose and without a strong Op Agreement will satisfy just that:  no real purpose.  

As a realtor, I have a preferred lender that I strongly recommend my clients work with.  

In Mississippi, I'm getting 5 yr. terms with 10 to 15 year amortization for properties with strong financials, meaning debt coverage.

If this is your first deal, I would strongly recommend buying a small multifamily while also living in one of the units and renting the others. 

I strongly believe that holding onto the "9-5" for as long as I did has actually cost my RE business money and growth potential.
