I'm sure you have a great read on your local market but I'd recommend refraining from pretending to be an expert on a market you clearly know little about.Good luck!

I recommend using a lender that non-reporting to personal credit and can close under the LLC to keep your DTI lower and overall your personal liability profile more bankable.

I always recommend something organic and flexible, like “Sunshine Future LLC” or “Clear Path Ventures.”

While I don’t plan on flipping the house, I intend to use the property for short-term rentals (STR), and based on my research, it seems like it will perform well either as an STR or a long-term rental (LTR).Any ideas on how I can source the financing or recommendations for better lenders would be greatly appreciated!

An attorney that practices real estate is a good choice, an attorney that invests in real estate is a better choice.

@Greg Gallucci - would not recommend looking in Huntsville for MFH right now. 

Can anyone recommend any sites, courses, videos, or books to purchase so I can prepare for the test?

I'd be happy to provide so that you can make a more informed decision.I highly recommend @Maranda Tucker.

My recommendation is for your first MTR to get something that would be a decent LTR, this way you have a fallback strategy.

Highly recommend you DM @Samuel Eddinger and buy him lunch to pick his brain!
