Credit card

Fixed up each unit as it became vacant and rented it out.

Good cash flow, decent tenants; 75%+ equity in each unit.

Lessons learned? Challenges?

HOA property managers power trip

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

I recommend having an attorney on deck. The previous property manager and the new property manager tried to get me to pay for $3700 gate damage. This is in addition to the previous property manager stealing rent and depositing the tenants deposits into the condos HOA without my permission.
