My broker has a few investment properties and I do not act as a "single agent" and only operate in a "transactional agent."

What do you mainly deal with mulit's, single family's, or are you into commercial deals?

Your safer bet is try one if it makes sense.

I wasn't sure if banks would be more willing to loan if I had two paid off in the single LLC. 

I am a single family home investor primarily in las vegas.

If you have other needs, share them here or on the RING meetup site and if I can't help you, I bet somebody else in the group can.Not long ago, Baton Rouge was struggling with some issues of division that called into question our love for our neighbors and our fellow man. 

Good luck on your hunt, I think as @Antonio Guerrera, Jr. mentioned your best bet may be to find some off-market or foreclosure deals.

But this I do know:  every single AVM I have tried from Zillow and other is way off on my own personal residence by a big margin.

I didn't actually know someone came up with a name for it until after I'd closed my first wholetail deal because I couldn't find a single person in the entire company that had actually done it.

I just did a single family residence deal there earlier this year but it was a 1 unit so loan limits are 554,300 as opposed to yours which is $709,600 so it looks like your loan amount is below that which may help you get financing if you're considering a refinance.FHA allows a cash out to 85% of current market value so if you believe you're at 603,000 loan amount then you'd need a min appraisal of 709k or so to refinance this home into a conventional loan if you're trying to remove mortgage insurance.There are lines of credit to 89.90% or 90% of your homes value if you're interested in having access to your equity (if the property appraises high enough).To address your questions:1) If it appraises high enough yes you can remove monthly MI and you can use a line of credit 2nd to access your equity (this would be your best bet).
