From Personal loans to LLC financing

I am about to finance my fourth rental property using the BRRR strategy and then my bank will not lend to me anymore, hitting the magical fourth loan. My loan officer suggested creating an LLC and buying houses under the company name and using me as the personal guarantor, thus allowing me to own/control four more. Does this sound legit, is this a real possibility? Haven't heard of this potential strategy before. Can anyone explain whether this is viable or not? Thanks!

You'd have to find a commercial lender that will finance a single family (most wont). And if you found one, it doesn't much matter if it's in an LLC as those don't get reported the same way.

You're better off finding a traditional 1-4 residential lender that doesn't have that 4 property max overlay (since I believe the real limit is 10)
