Keep saving, that combined with your potential W2 income is a giant help when you start seriously investing and underwriters for loans love seeing it.

In my case, I had a ton of equity on my personal house which I took a HELOC (like a giant credit card, using my house as collateral ) and got quite a low interest rate compared to hard money lenders.If you don't have equity in your own property I would ask relatives if they have money in their IRA's that they would be willing to lend.

Also, I need to chop down a giant sycamore tree and the best quote I got was $2,100.00...

And the final solution is "trust a household name," but that's accomplished primarily by usurious interest rate pricing to pay for the giant marketing budget to become a household name to begin with, so that solution sucks too.It's quite the conundrum for the consumer. 

Spring Training is huge as the San Francisco Giants have a stadium in the heart of Scottsdale and that brings out a ton of fans as well.I'd suggest getting on YouTube and watching videos from STR University.

Thank you @Ryan Hoover and @Dick Rosen will connect with both of you.

This will be a GIANT help as I continue to educate myself.

But the government made the process a giant PITA so we finally quit doing it. 

The house had a giant two tiered deck on the back totalling 900sq and the property has a 12x24 storage building. 

Now, on the other hand, any legit and experienced purchaser is also not going to likely pass around their bank statement to every Tom, Dick, and Sally so that hurdle lies with each individual wholesaler.
