If I do successfully buy in LA, it will likely be a long-term buy-and-hold as I'm very bullish on the 10-15 year horizon.Unsure how hard it is to get approved for these low down payments.

You don’t have to go through a whole approval process with them at the time, just ask what their standard requirements are (for LTV, % rate, fees, turnaround time, etc).

Also, for the timing of the new primary mortgage, would I need a signed lease for pre-approval? 

Of course, the minor though wouldn’t legally have the ability to pursue the tax deed auction process, on their own.

An umbrella policy from a reputable insurance company, in the amount that makes sense for you, will give you the legal protection you need to get started, for a fraction of the cost.

Any advice on how to creatively and legally get around this 2 year rule would be greatly appreciated.       

I'm concerned that if the closing happens after I leave my job, the mortgage legally would need to be re-evaluated and could be set at a much higher rate or not be approved at all.

Is legal zoom satisfactory or should I go a different route?
