This bank will be more likely to lend given they hold the first lien. 

@Michael Carbonare The rent to own strategy has been good to our business model as a long term buy and hold investors. 

.- Depends on what you're doing specifically, but usually I'd recommend getting an EIN at least to give access to business bank accounts- Repeating #1, if you're going to a property and 100% of your time is spent doing renovations and the like, sure, but if any of it is for personal benefit, that'd be disallowed.

I just want some outside eyes to help me understand if this deal is what I should expect to find as I build my portfolio.I plan to buy and hold long term.

In answer to your question- Yes, I hope to buy and hold here and flip when possible.

Do you believe it will now be more cost effective to hold a license or do you believe the expenses will go up with what I assume will be a flight from the business by low producing real estate agents? 

Otherwise, if you are referring to ETF's such as Spiders, or QQQ, the the holding period rules apply.

There are a few special circumstances where you could have more than one FHA, but not usuallySo you can buy FHA and then later buy a 2nd property Conventional or vice versa - but your 3rd and subsequent properties could not be FHA so long as you're holding a previous one.
