How to secure a loan as self-employed / through LLC

[Shawn Blake]

Hey!

So i've been on BP forum for some time now trying to figure out how to get in the game. A lot has changed and recently i left my corporate job where i was making over 6 figures to open my own production company thats been in operation less than a year. God willing in my first year of operation i'll touch 6 figures, but i have faith i'll at least come close to that. 

My initial goal was to buy a house using my employment income but now that that has changed i am looking for tips and strategies to purchase a house through my LLC or by paying myself a wage (which wont be that close to what i was making before). My new goal is to buy a townhouse in Atlanta or Houston that's under $200k. i'd be able to house hack or Airbnb.

Some questions:

1. What is the best strategy for getting a loan as a business or self-employed person?

2. Am i able to take advantage of first time home buyer programs this way?

3. What are you seeing in the market as far as getting a loan this way?

4. Atlanta or Houston?

Thanks!
