I do have fairly good credit, and plenty of sweat equity.

I suggest not to mess up your own credit and get evicted or unable to lease later.

. - Mortgage credit inquiries are not a concern, nor do they have a "hard" impact on your credit.

We have about 40-50K to invest from our HELOC, Line of Credit and 401K.

There are some constraints, however.Constraints:My DTI is close to being maxed outI am not accreditedAm not prepared to do my own syndication at the current timeI prefer not want to invest in REITs or the stock marketI currently work full timeThank you all for your thoughtfulness. 

How I do it is through selective screening and I have been 100% successful.By instituting certain screening standards it will naturally eliminate the vast majority of non target applicants.For example young couples with children will generally have lower credit scores. 

The criteria when I applied and received mine was some of the same factors as though I was applying for a regular mortgage, DTI, credit score/report, W2, paychecks etc.

Our credit is good (my husbands is 'very good') but with money as tight as it is I don't want to open any new bills.

Your best bet will be a local bank or credit union.
