You have plenty of knowledge to begin.What you view as your potential risk (ending up stuck with a home you can't sell and forced to take HM) is not really accurate.If you are trying to organize same day back to back closings, you will not get "stuck" with the property.The transactional lender wants to guarantee his money so he will inform the Title Agent not to disburse funds from the A-B closing if the B-C closing does not take place the same day.So if the B-C falls apart at the last minute (happens often), the A-B is simply unraveled and you don't buy the property.Worst that happens is you lose your Earnest Money and maybe some closing service costs and a bit of your reputation with that Loss Mitigator.

(no 850 is not the limit) Right now it is in the 760-80s because last year I began to build business credit and had many inquiries plus I personally guaranteed some of them.

will you be personally guaranteeing the loans even if their in the name of the llc?

This is real estate INVESTING, not real estate guarantee.

Many times it's best to be stealthy and testing the waters, making a reasonable amount of profit in a community than walking in and trying to pull out 35% profit...I guarantee you people in the business will be watching you and the first thought will be that you pulled a fast one....just human nature, IMO.

I just don't see much of an advantage really in purchasing a multifamily for investment purposes in L.A , especially since appreciation is no longer "guaranteed" .

He and the seller then enter into a standard Purchase and Sale contract.Many sellers will not like having their properties tied up so long with no guarantees.

Invest the difference at a taxable return you should do better than they guarantee or even promise.

Sounds like a minimal deal to me.Instead of one property you are having to look at 4 with different capital expenditures and rent levels.10 or 20% down with owner finance might be appealing with a great cap rate.The seller will need to look at money down versus what it would cost to foreclose and any personal guarantees offered before owner financing.
