If it's a layered LLC, most lenders will need to trace a warm body on the operating agreement which will involve a bit more paperwork trail.

There are options via the Positive Rent Payment program (Fannie Mae) to do so. 

@Robert WestenbergerIf I were in your shoes, I would focus on multi-family homes, single-family homes with ADUs, or live-in flips, and explore financing options like FHA loans, conventional loans, or first-time buyer programs.

For first-timers, leveraging programs like down payment assistance or FHA loans can make a big difference.

I’m not able to personally qualify for cash out refinances.I’m looking to sell my home located in Southwest Florida in a HOA community but want to remain in the home to lease- 3 years or more.Does anyone have experience with this type of program or have any suggestions for me on where to look to get this done.

Hi James,I see you are in Brandon Turner First deal program.

You even graduated from IU so you have access to some awesome loan programs from IUCreditUnion.Keep your job and connections to buy a house, then rent out rooms to traveling nurses. 

You could also explore other loan programs that work better with higher DTIs, or even pay down some of your current debt.

I was involved in R&D program with O.C. on "solving" a solar-on-the-roof solution that (a) worked and (b) was scalable.
