I read about some investors who's behind on their mortgages, collect rents in advance, then skip town.I had tenants with legitimate reasons to pay in advance, for instance, a convent was downsizing, renting apartments for member nuns, They need a number of apartments, had the funds, but back in those days, had to process 20 to 30 rent checks a month in their accounts payable department just for rents is too much.

If you plan to close in an LLC, you definitely will not be able to utilize a first time homebuyer program or a low down payment (FHA, Conventional, VA, USDA) loan. 

Not sure what kind of loan you were approved for, but conventional loans tend to have tougher requirements when it comes to condos.

I am seeking to find a hard lender to help complete this deal or get a conventional mortgage.

Conventional loans might start to get tricky as you grow. 

You need to then refinance house one to conventional to get another VA loan ...

**What will help you is if you can get approved for a zero down conventional loan so you can put most of your money towards an appraisal gap instead of the down payment.

I am a preapproved buyer (5% conventional) with no contingencies, can close ASAP.

Here's my scenario, I buy a home with a 30 ye fixed conventional.

Going FHA is kinda the same deal as VA as far as being a bit taboo in this market with sellers, so the alternative for a 3-4 unit property is putting 20% down with a conventional loan thru Freddie Mac.
