If you use an FHA loan as an individual, you’ll benefit from a low down payment (3.5%) and more lenient qualification requirements, but you won’t have liability protection, and the loan will stay in your name when it becomes a rental.Using a conventional loan through an LLC offers liability protection and scalability for future investments but requires a larger down payment (15-25%) and often comes with higher interest rates.If maximizing cash-on-cash return is your goal, FHA might be the better starting point.
