Also, what’s been your biggest challenge when it comes to securing the funds you need?

Secured creditors in order to take the property are to put in a motion to lift the stay.

Watch Grant Cardone's youtube videos on, "The Biggest Mistake You'll Ever Make."

Or even missing out on securing a better deal, higher price, or greater return but did not do so, often due to a lack of negotiation or oversight.

If you think you might get kicked out then housing security might be worth upping the payment. 

I sourced the property off market and secured seller financing, and I also self manage it as an Airbnb host with nothing but 5 star reviews.

My strategy has been to grow aggressively (by using as little of my own money as possible) to secure good assets, and once stabilized, then work to pay down loans to own them free and clear sooner rather than later. 

My main concern is whether it's hard to meet their criteria for properties and secure funding.

If they don't you personal financial situation plays a bigger part in securing a loan. 

We had to wait out the First Look period, but once that passed, we secured the property below market value.
