My advice would be to have a banker/broker/loan officer pull her full credit report and take a thorough look at everything causing the low scores.Quick fixes for just score improvement can be having a family member or a partner add you as an "Authorized User" on a credit card with a 30-40% credit balance to credit limit ratio. 

If you’re interested in investing start saving in a bank account you don’t use, not your debit card account, money towards a down payment for a mortgage.

The negatives I would imagine are frequent turnover of tenants, cost, and time for repairs.Is there any kind of other value add other than raising the rents? 

I like the idea of cash for keys, but I would hold that back and play the court card. 

Definitely raises some concerns if tenant is waiting for the current deposit to pay the new one.

I raised the rent $25.00. 

They didn't deliver the speeds they promised and when I quit, tried to run my card for $400 canx fee.

My insurance agent let me know I would have to raise all of my coverages in order to even get an umbrella policy (I have 2 cars and a primary residence that I pay state minimums on in insurance).

@Patrick Prunty would a credit card with a $15k - $20k limit and an introductory 0% interest rate for 1 year be a good option to assist Alex with funding repairs?
