Was gifted down payment and received conventional loan.

I then went on to bring in friends and family to buy the next few properties (they became down payment partners) but I would not recommend this if you do not have a solid team that you can rely on.

Trust me- I wish it were, but it's not. 

Trust me several screws in 3/4 aren’t going anywhere.

Could I as the property owner sell my own LLC the property, and could I do a defered down payment for the 25% that most lenders seem to want?

This is the action stated at heart of anti-trust. 

Our house hack would likely not cover the full monthly payment which we are fine with. 

Start the eviction process as soon as she misses a payment.

Like down payment assistance.

My plan was to acquire a property through owner financing, and find someone whose goals align with what I'm trying to accomplish and have them cover the down payment.
