A fair warning, you'll be wading through complicated info.  

Comparing your post to my experience thus far I feel I am in for a fairly robotic loan experience.I have yet to see the actual loan agreement, but I have requested this and will report back when i get a copy.  

There are also additional costs of operating and maintaining an LLC, like separate bank accounts, annual report filings, tax filings, etc.2.

I’m in the area around the Fair Grounds and Westbrook Park, great rentals!  

Discuss this with the lender before proceeding.Partnership or Joint Venture:Structure the purchase with a partner or entity while maintaining the assumption in your name.This allows you to benefit from the entity's structure while complying with VA loan rules.Entity-Owned Financing:If assuming the VA loan isn’t feasible, explore refinancing into a non-VA loan owned by your entity after the property is acquired.4.

At the time it was fairly easy to find properties that needed enough rehab that you could really force up the ARV.

For a partnership where you're providing all labor and the broker is funding the deal, a fair split typically ranges from 30-50% for you and 50-70% for the broker, depending on the value and complexity of your labor versus the financial risk they're taking.

You can't raise the rents in a fixed term lease but if it's month to month you may have the ability to make a change with notice (30 days is fair in my market).

I'm fairly certain you have to be licensed for a specific number of years before you can be mortgage broker.

The ordinances only apply to city limits currently so you’re probably fairly “safe” in the county.
