Quote from @Leonard La Rocca III: So is it common to find a conventional loan without meeting the lender in-person?

@Marc Zak Using an LLC for each property provides strong liability protection by isolating risks to individual assets, with income and expenses flowing through to your personal taxes on Schedule E.

I don't know this person or company from a sack of salt or what  they do..

@Ben Callahan, you could find a partner who is looking to buy a similar property, be a co-signer to your partner, and have that person live in it and be a primary resident. 

An LLC shields personal assets from business liabilities, while S-Corp taxation allows you to reduce self-employment taxes by taking a reasonable salary and distributing remaining profits as distributions, which aren’t subject to payroll taxes.

@Grant Shipman Great stuff, I'm a big fan of co-living/rent by room strategy, and I do it here locally in Denver metro, and it is the best strategy in today's market for any house hacker to live for free or make money while living there, but they have to sacrifice personal space.

Office space is gutsy at this time with many companies working remotely, maybe part of your investment was to bet that people will be coming back to work in person.

I personally have success in doing flips with my partner here in Ohio.Lakewood and Edgewater are gentrifying neighborhoods in Cleveland.

I’m the last person who should complain about grammar, but these are yellow flags, at best.
