About half our applicants don't have income that meets the 2-3x rent threshold, even with positions in architecture, software engineering, etc. which is an indicator that we're approaching the upper limit of what people can afford. 

Most co-op's limit leases to 1-2 years.

I know there isn’t a limit on how many private mortgages I can have...what I’m asking is this...Is there a limit to how many private UNSECURED notes that I can have to use for my flipping business.

You may be able to list it for 1.35 and push the limits and get a cash off of 1.3?

Alternatively you can become an agent's unlicensed assistant and get your own username and password along with limited access (some agents are okay with this, especially if you throw some deals their way or pay a monthly fee).

Any best practices in situations to limit my downside risk.

However, we believe it would be wise to use the LLC and a joint bank account under the LLC’s name to track cash flow.From a perspective of reporting taxes, would the LLC limit us?

Definitely echo the sentiments that $0 money investing is much more myth and marketing snake oil than being plausible.Closest thing I know to quick easy funding is a 0 fee, 0% credit card balance transfer but not everyone can command 30K plus credit limits and I wouldnt recommend that path unless you are equipped to handle that debt once the promotional APR expires

Or it could double like this random house in my city did since it's 2006 sale price:https://www.redfin.com/WA/Kirkland/134-8th-Ave-980...So you have to decide if taking on the debt is worth the potential reward, including your specific scenario limitations.
