Didn't qualify for conventional loan due to my student loans.

If so, is it easy to qualify?

It sounds like you're receiving disability pay from a service-connected disability, so you likely qualify for a waiver of the Funding Fee for a VA loan.3. 

or, "To have X number of qualified leads incoming per day."

For example, "To have all of my Social Media posting be done for me." or, "To have X number of qualified leads incoming per day." or, "To have my website rank at Number 1 on Google without any work from me (ie. numerous blog posts, etc.)."2.)

I haven't done a bid, but I have made two qualified applicants bid to see who'd pay the highest rent. 

I have my thoughts, but I do not feel qualified to comment.

If it wont cashflow I would look to 1031 exchange the property if possible into something that will you would want to get a qualified intermediary for that so its done correctly but you may be able to end up with cashflow and appreciation in another property!

The reality is you can rent more house than you can qualify on a mortgage.  

I spent a lot on improvements on a rental this year (hvac system, new flooring) that usually I would have captured on my tax return but I’m worried that the lower AGI is going to affect how much I qualify for for the new house.
