I accepted the application only to find out that her ex husband and 14yo daughter (divorced in 2011) lives in the unit on the opposite side of the building from where she is moving in.

BUT this applies to experienced builders who have a strong track record of successful projects without trailing loss history.  

You definitely need more than a 1 month history to determine if the airbnb is successful.

let me ask my daughter she might have a recommendation for you.. she is a Broker there in Vegas

You may also need to show STR rental history on these properties from the previous owner if you are looking to qualify using short term rents.

The company doesn't really have a "credit score" or "eviction history" so I'm thinking about asking for 1.5x or 2x monthly rent as a deposit (we normally do 1x month rent) just like I would for a tenant without established credit history.Thanks!

His main house would be potentially one that can cash flow for us as a rental when his daughter moves out in the next year or so.

When i arrived in the US i wasnt able to get funding due to lack of credit history as an overseas citizen.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history very important!

I think for better or worse, single family zoning is history.
