How terrible is her credit score?

However, if you have other criteria, such as credit score, employment history, etc, then the percentage of qualified applicants to applicants will likely be lower with lower rent. 

I have been doing my own personal research on this matter and came across a few things; such as FHA loans, possibly leveraging my good credit score to get business credit and then use  it as a down payment on a property, ofcourse hard money lenders,  air bnb, and e.t.c... 

I make over $125k with a credit score above 730 and live in the Bay.

I'm looking into doing a smaller version of the rehab, without the permit but avoiding plumbing, electrical, and moving walls.

These types of loans can be a good option if you have a good credit score and a solid financial history.

You can find a lender and get prequalified without it hurting your credit score.

Statistically speaking, 28% of consumers with credit scores in the Fair range are likely to become seriously delinquent in the future."
