Do some banks or credit unions let you refinance at 90% LTV?

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

I am wondering however if I should transfer the asset to my new LLC and then apply for a HELOC to get a head start on building business credit.

After posting on the zillow, do I show the property to only those tenants whose credit/criminal and other background checks out?
