There are BLOC's Business Lines of Credit which will allow collateralization of residential income properties.

No ghosting allowed here!

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

Hope all is well.

Hi Robert, I would look into Columbus Ohio as well. 

Registering as a foreign LLC allows you to maintain continuity with your existing business structure, branding, and EIN while operating legally in the new state.

The majority of landlords don't allow pets in there properties.

I agree with @Ashish Acharya if you're interested in reinvesting the proceeds into another investment property and your goal is to minimize your tax liability a 1031 would work out well for you.

If you are not already working with a realtor that is well versed in STR and knows ALL of the requirements for STR, do yourself a favor and reach out to @Josh Green.

I recommend focusing your attention on sourcing great real estate rather than allowing the creative financing be the tail that wags the dog.
