Securing loans with a low credit score is possible through private or HM lenders.

We secured a 200k USD senior debt position which allows us to avoid raising so much equity.

List of Licensed Agency Multifamily Lenders: Who to use, who to avoid, why you don't need a broker to secure agency debt. 

Congrats on securing a good job!

Investor side:  Pitch it to your private investor as 12% interests on a 5-year private loan from your investor to secure the $30k.

Also I am curious if you had to disclose any personal assets even if you did not use them to secure these loans in other to enter an agreement with them. 

Security systems are a giant headache for short term rentals.

Being in control of the contract, understanding the market you're buying in, and securing the right  price are the foundations of a solid deal.

For your existing primary, you will need to have it leased with the security deposit and first month's rent collected.

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.
