That way you can use that 2% to do a rate buy down to ensure a better cash flow.If you are buying it as a Primary owner occupancy I would ask for 3-4% seller credit to cover rate buy down and a portion of closing costs.

You can close in a DSCR loan in your LLC with a similar down payment as conventional. 

Second choice would be to help with closing costs. 

Hi Account Closed I am in the Raleigh-Durham area

If you're concerned about closing costs, you can place your offers requesting the seller to cover your costs.   

Rehab portion of the loan was to repair some interior work worth up to $65k. unfortunately 1 month after closing, I had one of the tenants that was getting evicted complain to the city and I ended up getting a bunch of building violations. 

I am deciding if I want to do this on my own this first round (I currently work 70 hours per week so this isn't really my first choice) or find a property manager (or someone willing to manage mine) who has a good cleaner/handyman/team and has had some good experience with MTRs in this area!

If you are unwilling to house hack then I would recommend finding a strong STR market as close as possible to you.

I hired a large accounting firm that specializes in FIRPTA and put them in touch with the title company before closing.

What you are describing is essentially a double close.
