Anyone able to aim me in the direction of a lender interest in financing this type of business relationship?

I actually read the policy and saw both of those exemptions/exceptions but wasn't sure if they were applicable and had planned to meet with an attorney this week to discuss this further.

I'm an insurance broker and many (but not all) insurers will list the LLC as a covered entity on a policy.  

I am aiming to travel to Walla Walla around the 1st weekend in March at the latest and would like to make an offer on a place shortly thereafter.  

What is their policy for dealing with evictions?

If it helps, I look for rentals in C+ or better neighborhoods, and am aiming somewhere around Lee's Summit, Blue Springs, Waldo, Brookside, and Belton. 

Either way the agent is still due a commission but you need to reach out to the company to ensure what their policies allow.

For that reason you would be nuts not to use an attorney to draft your loan docs and have a title company run a title report and issue a title policy. 

When you get the requisite employment history (plus the solid credit you already have), you might aim for a 2-4 unit property as a first home purchase (2-4 units counts as residential and there are some great loan programs to look into). 

If it's for liability, you might want to research umbrella policies.
