I would call 10-15 local banks and credit unions and ask to speak to their business banker about business loans in LLCs.

Im making 85k on w2, $1,600/mo. mortgage, no car payments, no credit card debt.

With your RE LLC, you could seek out a business line of credit to access capital for expanding. 

Currently working on my credit and saving some more but should be ready in a year or less.

I recommend buying a multi-family, using the DPA, and getting as much credit as you can at closing.

The other important item to consider is keeping your Credit score above 680, this gives you the opportunity to refinance without tax returns into a 30 year fixed rate Rental Loan, or DSCR Loan. 

You could also explore using a home equity line of credit (HELOC) or a cash-out refinance to tap into the $100k equity and use that capital to invest in additional properties, all while keeping the current home as an asset.

You want to make sure the renter arbiter is financially stable with good income and good credit and at least owns the house they live in so they know that if they mess up they have a lot to lose.Usually most renters do not have any assets and are usually not so financially stable.

They may or may not require underwriting on you as a person, including credit checks, asset levels, etc. 

You can review the entire case history including actual filings on PACER.govIf these properties are now REO you need to find the listing agent.
