Step 4: Tell future landlord that you’re “self employed.” Step 5: File dissolution of LLC -or- make sure to pay any annual franchise taxes, depending on your state, if you decide to keep it active.

        That step is unnecessary. You can call your LLC whatever you want. So all the landlord has to know is that you work for “Totally Not A Front LLC”. If they don’t do their due diligence verifying that it’s more than a one person operation, that’s on them.

        We do, but our verification process include researching the LLC and requiring proof of at least 2 years of business income ( 3 years preferred).
