My biggest issue with that is I do not want liquid cash with inflation pretending to be a hot air balloon. 

Pretend you don't have that money and learn to make it in this business with 10k or so. 

Look, if you were my client I would get you into the best possible outcome possible, but I'm not going to pretend that writing significantly under asking offers for difficult sellers that probably overpriced their homes to begin while using a loan product that may make you look less qualified is going to get you anywhere.  

The best way to do any strategy what-so-ever, is to pretend you are a wholesaler.

But, I researched the area, talked to people, pretended I was a renter, and noticed how difficult it was to find a nice place at a reasonable price.

You can still have a manager run those other units and pretend you are just another tenant (one that doesn't pay rent) but it will get you into a property that will hopefully cash flow once you move out with as little money into it as possible.My other suggestion would be to invest with partners or in a syndication.

I'm not an agent and I don't pretend to know what it is like in their chair, but in my experience I don't buy the full time agent is better than the part time agent as a blanket statement. 

It is good to have that resource, but pretending you don't have it for a few years can go a long way in this business.

They're pricing in near term rate cuts despite the Federal Reserve pretending they won't make them.

By purchasing the LLC you purchased all shares in the LLC, i.e. you are the only officer and have 100% control of the LLC's operations.Assuming all of the above, there's virtually nothing stopping you from doing what you suggest other than the ability to get loans as mentioned above, i.e. you can't pretend the repayment of the LLC note doesn't exist and that the income to repay the note isn't generated by the properties.
