HELOC alternative for LLCs?

Thanks in advance for your insight. Here's our rehab and resell situation:

Elderly parent currently owns the property OUTRIGHT. Three adult children have taken control of it. Our company would enter into an equity partnership with them, forming a new LLC for protection for all involved, the LLC would be named on the deed. Looking like they will be 85% of the LLC, we would be 15%. We, the rehabbers, would be responsible for the entire renovation and sale. The adult children, silent partners.

We wanted to have the newly-formed LLC take out a HELOC for the repairs for a 8 month timeframe — house is owned outright, the ARV is five times the cost of repairs so the HELOC math would have been a slam dunk — HELOC qualifiers don’t get better than this. But we now know LLC’s cannot obtain HELOCs, only individuals. This is a newly formed LLC — just for the sake of this project and protection for all — there are no 3 years of tax returns, bank statements to show this is a "stable business", like many local banks request for their BLOCS. 

Is there a product available to LLCs that's very similar to a HELOC, that is secured against the asset, but doesn't have extreme costs like hard money, typical portfolio loans for flippers, etc.? A construction loan perhaps, but at what terms? Something else?
