@Zachary Sakena Purchasing properties through an LLC is all you truthfully need and that is more for business planning than anything else (if you consistently follow through on the items I previously shared). 

This probably implies FIRE in his 20s, but I hope he is passionate about the path he has chosen and excels at it until at least a more traditional retirement age.He started the 2nd rehab he is leading.  

Yes, most large traditional lenders only focus on 1-4 units and other properties that fit into a box. 

What’s your experience been like with traditional lenders vs. private options like ours?

That said, I completely understand your concern about deals looking "too good to be true" when you’re putting in 50% down.To avoid this, it’s best to analyze properties as if you were using more traditional financing (20-25% down).

I am at 4 now and hoping to average 2 more per year yet ready to quit my traditional job ASAP.  

I assume the sellers are offering seller financing since obtaining a traditional mortgage or refinancing to one after 7 years for this property is highly unlikely.

We have an added layer of stress compared to something turnkey in the traditional sense. 

There is much to learn in finding out who owns vehicles and how to go about getting a title for it as well as auctioning off said item.

The problem we are having is much of our current deal flow is below traditional lending terms (<$75K).
