This will allow for greater cash flow while only tying up the down payment -- you can use any other money for additional cash flowing properties keeping diversity of occupancy to mitigate risks. 

One of the standard setup is to have each property in its own single member LLC in the state of the property.The property LLCs are then owned by a holding LLC in WY or NV to benefit from their good charging order protection.In addition, you would use a C corp as management corporation to take salary (if needed to show steady income for future loan approval), retierement, medical and other fringe benefit.

Do NOT put additional money into the property, except for maintenance issues.

FHA will likely have an issue because you currently have an FHA loan unless you can prove additional extenuating circumstances and it sounds like that won't be the case.Getting your dad to assume the FHA loan would have a lot of additional complexities.
