Akron is a very blue city and are not very landlord friendly - source of income protections, etc... 

@James Wise MICHIGAN UPDATE: new law went into effect January 2, that landlords can no longer discriminate on tenant income source.

Given the property is located in the Poconos and the property is vacant more regularly as an STR there are proactive measures  you should  be taking such as making sure there are heating sources so that the plumbing does not freeze and ensuring there are no blocks in the plumbing lines with routine checks.

@Michael Klinger  As others posted, SoFi and Discover personal loans are good options and I've used them in the past.  2-3 business days from application to funds in my checking account. 

If you’re just looking for money to fund deals and you’re thinking the source could be IRA money then it shouldn’t make too much a difference to you whether the investor uses their personal funds or IRA funds.

That being said, your typical cost of capital is as follows:EquityAgency debtBalance Sheet local lenderDebt FundPrivate DebtPref EquityHard Money DebtBookie/Loan SharkOther things that will impact capital sources: are you wanting to finance the improvements, or will you pay for those from equity/cash flow?  

What other options would be good?  

Meet ups could be a good source too since you’re in a big market. 

Local FB groups is also a great source. 

Be sure to research rental demand, zoning laws, and financing options before deciding.
