Is the city government or state government business friendly there?

Federal/state mandated disclosures are something your broker will have a checklist for.

I've tried using City-Data and some of the federal websites.

Lender has said that earlier in the year, federal regulations were passed that won't allow you to get a conforming mortgage in the name of an LLC.

We get a lot of government loans.

Government doesn't like working on weekends for the most part.

This entity does NOT generally file a separate federal return and all of the activity from it gets reported on your personal return and will undoubtedly also be shown on your state income tax return (depending on your state requirements, as some states have no individual tax return requirements).For IRS purposes (and many states) by default, a LLC that's owned by two or more people (except for husband and wife in a community property state), is usually taxes as a partnership and it has to file a partnership tax return.A LLC can also elect to be taxed as a corporation and even as an S corporation, but that's too complicated of a topic for this discussion.Even if you wind up having a Disregarded Entity, many states might have annual filing requirements (such as California, Texas, Nevada and many others).

I have not done a renovation loan, but I’d call USAA, PenFed, Navy Federal, etc first. 

The advertisements in question in this investigation include such language as "no children" or "no Section 8," in blatant violation of the law.The settlements, filed today in Suffolk Superior Court, collectively require the property owners and real estate agents to pay the Commonwealth $18,250, ($8,750 of which is suspended pending compliance with the agreements), attend trainings on state and federal fair housing laws, remove lead paint hazards from the rental units, and prohibit the defendants from placing discriminatory advertisements or otherwise discriminating against any person who seeks or applies for housing because they are a member of a protected class.

@Jennifer Petrillo, usually if it is Female owned business you can get favorable loans and help from the SBA, there may be other government benefits as well.All the LLC's i filed are single member, i have one that at the time it was formed, there were 4 of us as Members,  i had my lawyer draft everything. i am not sure if there are instructions for the sites and i do not want to steer you towards the wrong thing, best you check out the sites and see if they explain how to fill out what you need.
