This encourages them to start their search now and (hopefully) leave early so you can turn the unit around and find new tenants sooner. 

I wouldn't be opposed to having a little skin in the game (closing costs, inspections, etc) I would be living there paying market rent and doing the improvements myself.

Any reccs on where to search google for these tools, or some free ones?

If you're not having any luck with mortgage brokers (I'd search out the ones who specialize in investments), then go to your local REI meeting. 

You can also search for local FB groups that specialize in longer term stays.

@Mario Morales - Personally, I would do some research in your target market and search (even it on zillow) for 2-4 family properties and see what agent(s) seem to transact the most in that space.

Don’t forget heloc, DSCR, 2nd on primary, borrow from retirement accounts, credit card cash advance, property reserves, home improvement store credit, etc etc.

I would use the income to slowly improve the house and once you get it to a good spot, HELOC out some money for a down payment on another place rinse and repeat. 

But in terms of the company you asked about a quick search shows there are a lot of people that are not happy with the service. 

We then use our money for the improvements.
