Here are some details:- HELOC on my primary, paid off residence (current rate 8.65% could be used to do an all cash offer.- I have a second home (condo) with no mortgage that I could also take a mortgage or HELOC against, but not for 6+ months as it was just purchased.- I could go traditional loan, using primary home HELOC as down payment, so effectively carrying two notes (down payment with higher HELOC rate, balance with current mortgage rate). - credit score is above 800.Any guidance on above options or ideas on other financing scenarios would be greatly appreciated.Thanks so much!

Also, am I paid a commission by my client or by the landlord since I am bringing a prospective tenant?

You said you provide a great product, so get paid what the market is willing and able to pay.

In order to get pre approved all the lender looks at is your credit, assets, properties performance and you have to own a property as primary or investment you cannot use DSCR loan product if your a first time homeowner. 

Just note... most of my clients or colleagues who went w Evolve say by the time all the fees etc are paid its closer to 18%.  

@Joshua VanNamewell, sounds like the best use of your time is to work so you can hire people to do these cabins...If you worked on the cabins yourself, you'd get paid back but much later when you sell. 

Some free some paid, all helpful in their own way.Pulling data straight from sites like.

IMHO a good system has a screen that shows all the payments in some ACH state:  queued,  bounced NSF,  paid. 

How your owner statements look, how easy it is to follow the money, when you will be paid, how you will be paid, how/when a PMC will communicate with you if there's a major repair coming down the pike or if your tenants have said they won't be paying rent until X date, etc. 

For paid softwares, it depends on the scale of your investments.
