A good option might be a hard money loan for the front end at high leverage (15, 10, or at most 20% down) and then adding value and pulling out equity via a DSCR cash-out refinances qualified with AirDNA projections. 

I’d do a cash out refi and use all that cash to buy as many C+ class rentals as you can with 20-25% down.

Your ONLY cost in a rental is the cash you come up with. 

You don't make enough to pay lawyers, fines or anything else from your cash flow. 

Does it cash flow positively or is it all "upside?"

Purchase price: $213,000 Cash invested: $13,000 This is a Townhouse located right outside of Forman university.

Purchase price: $174,000 Cash invested: $21,000 On-market 100 year old home, purchased from the MLS.

The cost of make-readies can eat up a year's worth of cash flow.

I do understand the draw having a tenant do this service and save some money, but sometimes paying the extra cash if worth more in the long run.Good luck,Noah  

Hey @Andy Yu - echoing what @Eric Hajdu brought up, your best solution for a quick fix is likely going to be to offer a buyout money or cash for keys.
