I have over 30k coming in very soon and working on credit score.

For financing, shop around with local banks, credit unions, and mortgage brokers to secure favorable terms.

The only additional thing that needs to happen is make sure appraiser makes note of why the value increase in as is vs previous purchase price.

Using a smaller bank or credit union is the way to go.Being that you have been in business for 10 years I am VERY surprised your business banker can't help you!

Please DM me if you have any additional questions. 

That being said an additional $500,000 would not stray me from this path. 

Local banks and smaller credit unions are most aggressive in this space.

But at a $1.5M asking price, as long as you don't have to spend more than $300k in rehab (without raising rents), this is a slam dunk deal that should easily be financed  at 75% LTV by a "investment real estate-friendly" bank/credit union that is located fairly close to the properties.

In addition, studies have shown that public REITs outperform private real estate:  https://www.reit.com/news/blog... 

In addition to that, building your network is key.
