No use having them take the discounted year long lease and then just leaving anyway in a month or two. . 

Establish credit by opening a Business credit card linked to account or funded account and once you have the credit, and the first years 1099 or Schedule C & E I would see if you can go Non/QM 1 Year or straight Portfolio vested in the LLC.  

I second @Bonnie Low with the rec for Baseline, if you have 1-2 properties it's easy enough to keep your books and accounts straight but any more than that gets tricky and time consuming!

I have discount codes for both if you need em.

In today's market, with low foreclosure discount compared to past buyer's markets and a lot of "motivated buyers", the risk/reward ratio keeps me far away from the courthouse steps. 

We've done this many times where you purchase a property at a discount with short-term financing/bridge loan, rehab it to increase the value, rent it out and then when you refinance it with long term financing, you (hopefully) get some money back.

or let go of the primary home idea for the mean time and went straight to real estate investing? 

However, we all know that most of these "discount" listing brokerages, or brokerages offering discounted coop fees have houses that are overpriced, usually flipped horribly and sit forever.

Those are the ones who most likely will be less hit by Special Assessment and, with the current "fear" in the market, are a good option to buy at a discounted price.

These include falsely claiming to have closed dozens of deals when none were ever closed, illegal payment of undisclosed sales commissions to bundlers and independent contractors, advertising the funds as safe and appropriate to investors with obvious near-term needs for their capital, creating fund of funds en masse assembly line fashion with no corresponding SEC filings, unregistered brokers/financial advisors acting in that capacity absent licensure, having customers wire money claim the fund is fully subscribed and putting them into a high yield promissory note, accepting funds from unaccredited investors, misrepresentations about the debt put on the project, lies about experience level of the principals, omissions of material facts, and at least two straight up Ponzi schemes.While it's true that some legitimate operators are having issues in their portfolios, today's circumstances are a perfect example of the idiom, "you can only discover who is swimming naked when the tide goes out."
