Even if you do not have VA eligibility (non-veteran) you can still assume these loans if the seller allows their eligibility to transfer with the loan! 

The plan is to put the property in an LLC at the onset (I heard this was easier/better rather than putting in personal names and transferring after the fact).I was given the following rates.30 year fixed: 6.875%. $5255/mo15 year fixed: 6.5%. $6969/mo10/1 ARM. 6.5%. $5056/moWe currently have a 15 year fixed on our primary home as we wanted to go into retirement debt free on the primary home.

For real estate specifically, it depends, in many instances an LLC is not required but ok as long as done properly (properties are bought in LLC and not bought and mortgaged in your name and transferred). 

We found a 188 unit deal in Columbia South Carolina and Ryan had actually already underwritten it but he missed the fact that the T 12 actually only had 11 months in it instead of 12 so we caught it and Multi Family Mindset’s internal underwriter really loved the deal.

No need to transfer title to LLC?

It sounds like you have a lot of transferable skills in the real estate industry.

As Texas doesn't require licenses for GCs, I'm not sure how this will work as I don't have a license that could potentially transfer over. 

@John Clark He can't transfer to land trust with a conventional mortgage.

When it comes to international investing, buying a villa in the Dominican Republic isn't very exotic in that many Americans have done it before.

Probate / Inherited / Intra family – Properties transfer within families for a lot of reasons.
