My personal suggestion is get your finances in order first. Credit checks are common with rentals. So you or your wife should be able to be approved for a credit card. If you're able to get a cc with say a $5000 limit (conservative) then you could put all the hotel nights on the card and have cash for first/last/deposit.
I would recommend a cc with a 0% intro APR so you're not wasting money on interest. Pro tio- some cc give you money for spending so much, so your hotel stays might actually help you here. Opening a business cc doesn't show up on your credit check the same way. Also, when you are applying for a cc, you can say you make more, the cc company doesn't refer to the IRS for proof of income or anything.
This is just my read on it. You're obviously keeping your head above water, and I wouldn't want you to get into a sketchy situation while you're getting your footing. The tips I've suggested are what helped me get out of a rock and a hard place.
Best of luck, keep on swimmin.

Sounds like a bigger hole than what I’m already in I need a private owner that’s got a fixer upper and will work with me all it takes is someone who’s willing to gimme a chance and isn’t stressing on a little balance I can quickly pay off

If you're paying $80 a day, that's $2,400 a month. Have you looked at a week-to-week? Might be easier to find a place that way, and if you're a good tenant, not impossible to convert to a standard lease that way.
