I've had what you mentioned happen just a couple months ago, and at various times in the past. 

A couple of suggestions: First, I would reach out and begin networking with folks from the local KREIA group.

I then want to renovate it, rent it out, then sell it in a couple years. 

I might rent out a room in the house once I get a couple of bedrooms a bathroom and the kitchen finished.I will move out and refi to get my initial investment out once I'm finished with the majority of the rehab finished and then rent out the entire property.Hopefully by the time that's complete the market in my area will be more forgiving.

There's a couple things to consider when trying the different methods of real estate investing (buy and hold, flipping, note investing, etc.) 

I only looked at a couple.. had to close it out. 

We try to do a couple of simple wholesale assignment deals every year inside a Roth.

@Malik Batchelor yeah, pick up the phone a couple thousand times and call them 😉

For a couple rentals it seems to work great.

This does require a piece of hardware (USB Drive type device) but if you are looking for something they can set up in a couple of minutes then I would go with the Google Voice number.
