If its a conventional conforming loan then I believe they should be reporting your payments.

Due to your payment history it’s going to be tough to refi out into something more conventional or a DSCR.Hard money is your best bet but that’ll cost you.If your selling, drop the price and you’ll bring in more demand.

Over the last (3) years I have seen some extreme cases of expedited equity where an investor buys an older home or "Ugly Inventory" and then bats clean up on the ARV in 12 months.To give you an example I helped an investor refinance her home in 2023 pull cash out to buy a $65K home all cash.

Which contributes to the higher inventory right now.

I've never heard the 25% thing before, but any difference between FMV and sales price would technically be considered a "gift" with potential tax implications for your parents.You can avoid most seller costs as there's no reason to use agents in this case.As an FYI: I always recommend avoiding a FHA loan, if you qualify for a low-down payment conventional loan.

Friendly reminder you can do a Conventional loan 95% LTV to purchase a home for them.

If you don't want to move into the property, I'd say a conventional investment loan or a DSCR loan are your two best options.

By using time as a key asset, we can ensure that:Properties remain affordable and community-focused.Tenants have access to education and workforce opportunities.Investors receive steady returns without destabilizing the market.To Summarize:This project isn’t conventional, and I don’t expect everyone to immediately align with the vision.

In my experience, you are thinking through this correctly.I've heard lawyers say, if the loan is in your name (which it has to be for conventional) and the deed is in the LLC, you aren't treating the business as an independent entity and in a severe lawsuit, the corporate veil is pierced and the LLC can be thrown out.I agree that one of the best defenses is to run your properties well.
