I’ve not done any creative financing or invested out of state or short term rentals or fix and flips. 

In the spirit of "I've finally resigned myself to the fact that AppFolio has me by the balls and I'm trying to do everything that we can directly in AppFolio" I'm embarking on a journey to set up inventory management in our shop storage racks and managed in AppFolio.

If done the other way around, the terms of your preapproval will change.With residential financing, you cannot purchase directly into a LLC (unless you look at DSCR) but that still would limit you to the 5% down conventional.
