Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac backed lenders will not lend in an LLC although they will give you the time the property has been owned in an LLC toward seasoning on title.

Fannie Mae , Freddie Mac , etc. know your credit score and own it .

Thinking of using a Freddie Mac Home Possible loan first and live there for a year. 

If the regular forums were left to their own devices, virtually every thread would devolve into "Call me and I can hook you up with that" posts.

I heard about SBA 7a and Freddie Mac but I'm not sure if this would qualify as it's multiple (residential) building (all less than 4 units). 

@Clint Morris You can have up to 10 mortgages with Fannie Mae and up to 10 with Freddie Mac for a total of 20 conforming, conventional mortgages. 

Water could be heard moving through the heating pipes as well, which is symptomatic of air in the system and a possible failure of devices on the boiler meant to purge air, 2.

Getting a conforming Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac type loan for an LLC may still be possible, but its a pain.

Also keep an eye out for evidence of any lease violation.... unauthorized occupants, unauthorized animals, tampered smoke alarms, damages, etc.In addition to checking all of the smoke alarm devices, plumbing fixtures, electrical fixtures, appliances, and operation of doors and windows, ask the tenant if there's anything that's not working or needs attention.

When I use the term conventional I really mean a conventional, conforming loan (A Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac loan).
