I'm a civil engineer with a steady income, good credit and no debt.My question to this forum is, how do I go about? 

Once I get back stateside I will walk through my LLC with a professional to ensure everything is in order, but I was able to set my LLC, purchase my domain (if I ever want to make a website), acquire my EIN, open my business checking account (NFCU if you have an account or can get one) and get approved for a credit card and a CLOC to start building business credit for it...all from a distance. 

They are essentially the same thing just one in the form of credit that must be repaid with cash.

Credit cards: we'd like to avoid this at all costs because of high interest rates.Hard moneyPrivate moneyAre there any other loan types or financing options we should consider to deal with upfront CAPEX in the first 1-2 years until we have a larger CAPEX fund built up? 

**fine print - Individual results will vary by the individual tenants credit profile, zip code and claims history....Here is an Ohio example of someone I quoted last week - $15k in property, $100k liability, $1k deductible premium was $187 year / $16 month.Increasing Property to $30k and Liability to $1 Mill the total premium is $275 year / $23 month.

I got 20 or nay 25%down. 800 credit.

@Conrad Kostrzewa For example a "good" house hack I had offer previously on in Pilsen.... 302k with 5k closing credit.

I've since found a couple credit unions in FL where I reside and have also found two credit unions that will do it.

@Mike Ball Send me a PM and I can give you a Credit Union guy in Columbia that may do it. 

It needs more than the $10k personal loan my credit union offers.
