But without the experience, knowledge and capital (actually CREDIT CAPACITY) I accumulated the prior 2 + years, this transaction would not have been possible.

@Randall AlanRandy,I have roughly 1+m of funds, that includes open lines of credit.

I've been self-employed for only 6 months, and loans are proving difficult to come by despite my great credit (not to brag, I'm moreso frustrated and seeking help).

I used a personal line of credit of $8k to invest.

I am considering doing this with a 0% APR credit card to avoid a loan. 

We also got over 100K in credits for repairs.It was a killer deal.

The other way I fund deals with none of my own money is using a private lender that I have years of experience and relationship with and/or using HELOC and other business lines of credit.

We only require a soft credit check as well. 

However, aside from that, I couldn’t find much information about them, and the only online presence seems to be the wife’s LinkedIn profile (though I’ve never met her in person and am just going off her profile picture on Zillow).After submitting the application through Zillow, we attached our income (two months of pay stubs for each of us from our current jobs), work references, credit and criminal background, rental history, and the contact info for our current landlord (who just so happens to be my fiancé’s father).

It allows tenants to increase their credit scores by an average of 60 points, and I provide it free of charge.I have over 600 adult tenants.
