LLCs and Investor Financing

[Callie King]

I am just starting with real estate investments, and I found a property I am interested in. I have created an LLC to hold the deed for liability protection. My questions is on financing. First, can the mortgage be in my name, and the deed under the LLC. If so do I put the deed in the LLC after the sale, and are there costs to this? Lastly, where is the best place to go for investor financing? A local bank or a mortgage broker? Thanks for your help!
