Network with lenders, hard money lenders and private money lenders so you also understand about the finances of the transactions.

Line up some private investors, or some of the few people still in the subprime game, or investor groups like ours who base funding off of property value, and down payment instead of credit score.

If you're doing something that's likely to get you personally sued (not as the business but as a private individual), I still don't think it would hold up in court b/c essentially you'd be giving ownership of the property to the LLC and then, what, renting it back from the LLC?

I'm not sure with conventional financing but with commercial or private financing you can buy as many at a time as your bank/lender will allow you.
