I don't have any experience being a landlord in this type of scenario, but if you can correct it without major costs, it seems like a much better solution than what you have currently.  

Hi there,I have not actually received financing from this company yet, but I have spoke with them directly and they seem to be a perfect solution to what you are looking for. 

You can do soft pulls with credit monitoring services.

The best thing is to perform preventive maintenance and have a log on the unit itself, install CO2 and water sensors that can be monitored with an app like a video camera and budget for replacement one thing at a time.

You found it a lot easier than usual, but WHEN you have a vacancy or a repair that has to be made, it will cost you money.I wouldn't consider the financing to be a permanent solution either.

I get excited thinking about multi-family units/apartments and providing solutions, solutions, solutions.

My solution to this was to post that there was an open house that night and anybody who was interested can come within a 2 hour window.

thanks @Christopher Phillips for the info - i just checked with my bank - the RBC bank and they do have a mortgage solutions for the properties in the US, i called for an appointment,but is this the best option, for instance what if i try to start a company based in the US - a local LLC, would it be easier (or cheaper), do you have / or heard about the abroad investors using the local US solutions for finance their business in the Statesdon't get me wrong - i don't have any problems with my credit score nor with the financial institutions in Canada, i'm just looking for the best deal...

I am taking over my family's real estate portfolio and am looking for a RE software solution for accounting and property management needs.
