I will be primarily wholesaling but I personally will be looking for Buy and Hold of single family and residential multi family units.

IS it still possible to "retire" off of residential REI? 

I know most residential lenders won't lend to an LLC so my question is should I just house hack the way anyone else would, using my own personal financial status and name, my own funds for the downpayment, and put the multifamily entity and principles aside for now.

You should have masks with you at all times for environmental pollutants when looking at hoarder houses - animal feces, dead animals, asbestos, gas, etc.As for protocol, hoarder houses are not an easy buy because if the resident is still there it's not a money issue, it's an emotional issue.

For residential - just making it more complex come tax time.

I have 2 years of residential sales experience and 2 years working with an investor.

I engage in long-term residential rentals, triple net leases, and short-term rentals, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages.
