You can end up locking up access to equity and cause your buying power to become frozen due to DTI or an adjustable rate.

Hahahah I should maybe just call ESS and say “JUST TELL ME WHAT TO BUY FOR MY TECHNOLOGICAL ABILITIES!”

If you really, really want the property, probably best to just buy it now.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Any advice on how I should approach looking/buying my first home?

@Franky Juwana, the problem with buying in a multiple member LLC is that it would be a different tax payer than you and your partner. 

Their whole goal is to buy your house cheap enough so that they can then turn and sell the Contract to an investor for a mark up. 

I did the house hack route, about to buy my 3rd now. 

Keep in mind the reason why it’s usually denied is because a lot of investors buy a bigger lot to in fact build more "investment" rentals on the other lots, but say it’s going to be a "new primary home" to get the higher LTV/LTC to build.If you’re willing to put 15% to 20% down you will not have that problem but if you’re looking for a 10% down or less it’s going to be a very "Hard sell" to the underwriter.

moving and buying your first property is a big deal.
