I was able to lock in private money to purchase the first of the two properties with plans of doing a BRRRR.

Not sure what the interior will look like, but hopefully you have photos of prior to occupancy, so that you will be able to claim against their security deposit, and a judgement for past due rents and any damages

But be carefull , again,  they are dificult to finance or obtain a loan , usually private loans are more expensive and they have higher interest rates . hope this help!

And thankfully, by the time I needed to execute on those options and actually complete the purchase of the leased properties, I had developed some private lender relationships that allowed me to complete those 3 transactions and several more thereafter.

FB is not my fav, they are neither professional nor private. 

Securing loans with a low credit score is possible through private or HM lenders.

As others have commented, this is a scenario where you will have most luck with a private individual lender or some other local financing - just too small for pretty much all the national platform hard money lenders

Private message me if you need someone local.

The promissory note and personal guaranty are private documents that don't get recorded.
