You want to be able to select who rents your house and how do you know the person they sublet to will pay the rent and take care of the place?

I have come across multiple properties - typically houses that require rehab - where the seller is not the owner of the property but what I believe to be a wholesaler or investor who has been assigned the rights of the property to sell to an end buyer (me) for a (substantial) fee. 

., you might be cutting it way too close to really do anything. 15k is the bare minimum I suggest for reserves or oh no money on any project so that doesn't leave you a ton left to work with.As @Glenn Banks said, 203k is probably your best option because it's an FHA loan and you can do low money down and the reno is baked in, but the reno is complicated.

We currently have around 175K in equity in our house we are willing to access some of it utilizing a HELOC but we want to get connected with investors that can help us walk through this! 

I want to put in 5 percent down on a single family house in metro Atlanta .  

Viewed another way the house generated $9,400 per month in appreciation over the last 9 years. 

If the house is on the market, you cannot make an offer without an agent.

If you are looking to invest as an owner/operator, It might be a good idea to start out by house hacking.

Would love to join, if my offer is accepted I will suddenly have 2 STRs because I spent the last year converting and living in a 35 ft school bus that I plan to list as a unique STR, while I house hack the new property(The property I put an offer on has an established AirBnB).
