Thus I do not see what benefit there is investing as a LP with a LLC

if you aren't will to or don't want to go into those types of areas, but by all means the FHA or 5% down conventional 2-4 unit loan is gonna be the way to go in my opinion.We did a house hack as our first move into reale state investing and it was the best thing we ever did and continues to expand ints benefits to us every year, So I am a huge fan of the strategy. 

You can have for example a 6 months contract, extendable, as you are not covered by long-term rental rules (neither "benefits").

@Nathan Gesner what is the benefit of the double deposit rather than collecting last month's rent + a single deposit? 

We offer products with fixed-rate HELOCs that give you the benefits of both worlds. :) Available for primary homes, second homes and investment properties.

One portfolio gives me cash flow and debt pay down, while the other produces appreciation in addition to the other benefits.  

Explain why you need them to vacate the property and the benefits of accepting cash for keys, such as avoiding the eviction process and potentially receiving a financial incentive to help with moving expenses.

I strongly  encourage to share this information  and write an email and letter to as many state representatives and the governor to veto this bill or reverse  it.AB 2424 (Schiavo) lender does not benefit they only get what they are owed including all fee's etc.. benefit will be next in line and or the owner who lost it.. this will also cut down on the collusion that takes place at trustee sales. 

The investor must consider whether the potential property value increase or other benefits outweigh this loss. 

We also have homestead exemptions where I'm at - which an LLC isn't able to take advantage of - so I would investigate the benefits of that as well when considering selling it to yourself.
