Some of your options are:- get a co-signer for your lease who has a better credit score- pay rent upfront, I would say 6 or even 12 months ahead - it might sound weird, but offer a collateral.

I intend to approach my mom, with an offer for % equity in exchange for a co-sign on the 30 yr loan. 

If someone moving in passes a background check, add them as an authorized occupant if they are weak and as a co-tenant if they have finances to protect.

I would also love to learn more about property management, and have experience in this field being a co-manager of my mother's Airbnb Studio Apartment.

I have never had a company fail to pay what is owed because that responsible person doesn't want their credit screwed.If the tenant applies and fails to qualify, I don't think I would use the company as a co-signer.

@Israel Lopez I had to get my partner on this because they are asking for a co-signer even when I’m qualified in the first place.

Should I get a pre-approval on my credit alone or try to find a co-signer?

@Cameron Johnson if you're looking for a residential loan you may need a co-signer if the lenders don't accept your internships.

You might need a co-signer.

Some how the city dropped the ball and issued a CO to this new construction build.
