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

I've committed myself to being a full-time real estate investor, private money broker and real estate consultant!

Private message me if you need someone local.  

Start conversations at community events and be transparent about your goals.

It’s a nice place and I hope to rent it out weekly from time to time to help cover the mortgage ($1,850/mo w/ taxes, etc.)I just found out from a personal conversation with the owner that a Lake House down the road will be going for sale and I was given the option to buy it off market.

I have private money family friend who wants to fund multiple investments and since I come from the construction industry they are confident in my ability to rehab properties.

You should also have a conversation with your tax accountant about your bank account setup. 

California is NOT one of those states that exempts this type of lending.. there might be a small carve out for a few loans a year privately done but if you hold yourself out as a lender your need a license.

Have a conversation with your property management company well in advance of any transition to ensure you are fully aware of all terms and conditions.
