Knowing nothing else about you, I would suggest that you either find a way to make more money at your current job by increasing your production to fit your excess time, or make a jump into an RE field that will take 100% of your capacity.

I think it depends on how big your org is, how many units will be managed, etc.I looked at a number of solutions and I had the added wrinkle of needing a product that was Canadian friendly (we are a bit unique here ;) ).

You are absolutely right about knowing your product. 

Vacation rental products: Some banks are buying into the short term vacation rental action so long as the prospective property is miles away from your home of residence.

Now, I need about $50k in repairs to get it back to livable again and I haven't been able to find a mortgage product anywhere with this credit score and a property that anyone driving up will see is damaged.  

Currently working full time as a product development engineer.

Basically, you are asking for a "non - FHA 203k" loan product, or a conventional-type rehab/reno loan. 

That rate isn't all that poor, many loan products geared to short term rental investors are in the high 4s, although I am curious as to why 30% down, most of these products only require 20%. 

Back to any investment, operators matter, but I have heard of several projects (single family homes, condo developments, apartment complexes) that had fairly major construction defects that only arose 2-3 years after occupancy, but could be traced back to either poor design and/or poor craftsmanship, and were only a matter of time to be exposed.This article from Feb, 2021 talks about issues at 432 Park Ave and the construction and design issues causing major damages. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/0...
