Acquiring Mortgage as an LLC?
I'm considering making the jump into my first investment property (buy-hold traditional rental). I plan to set up an LLC.
How difficult will it be for an LLC to obtain a 30-year fixed mortgage (20% down payment)? Will I need to use a commercial lender, and if so, what do I need to know about using commercial lenders? Will I have to personally guarantee the mortgage or will the house suffice as collateral for the bank?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!

All of the lenders we use require personal guarantees, are full recourse and close in the name of the LLC. From what I understand (I'm not an attorney), that set up does not pierce the corporate veil and the loans do not report on your personal credit report.
