And then there was one less angel investor out there. 


 If only you understood. My invester understands exactly what we're trying to do and that's all that matters! 

Quote from @Chris Seveney:

@Zachary Thompson

What do you mean you intend to withdraw?

Can you describe the situation a little better?

What it sounds like is an angel investor gave your LLC money and now you will withdraw it.

Are you withdrawing it for personal use?


 Thank you everyone who replied! 

Chris, you're correct. The investor will be investing cash directly into my LLC's account with nothing in return. I then intend on withdrawing the amount invested for, as you said, "personal use"

Would the money become taxable once I withdraw it? That is the question.

I have a single member LLC (sole proprietor) and I'm wondering if I must pay taxes on an angel investment? I intend on withdrawing most if not all of the initial investment. Thanks!

@Jared Boundy @Jonathan Taylor  Thank you both for your input. It's much appreciated and duly noted! I'm meeting Thursday with 2 potential investors/partners to see what we can come up with. May not be the homerun deal I anticipated as Jonathan mentioned but I should be able to secure a decent wholesale fee.

Hi @Zachary Thompson. I feel your frustration man. As @Jossalyn Wallace and @Aaron Byrne mentioned, the low down payment options with lenders are mostly reserved for primary residence purchases. In my state there are state grant programs to help with down payments, but I don't know about Ohio. A savvy lender should be able to advise on any programs available. 

Of course if you can find a property with a seller who doesn't need a chunk of cash up front and is willing to seller finance, then you'd have a no money down deal (though you'd probably still need to cover some closing costs). Good luck!

 Thanks everyone for the quick replies. I am looking at it as a short term investment. Fix and flip. But to touch on what @Jared Boundy said, I have it under contract subject to the existing mortgage. So to actually purchase the property it is a very cheap price that I could manage easily. The issue I have if I go that route is I wouldn't be able to find funding for the rehab portion of the project as there is an existing lien holder in 1st position. Maybe if someone knew of a lender for a large rehab project that didn't require a large down payment or 1st lien holder position on the property I could make that work.

I've looked and looked and fought off scam after scam trying to find the ever elusive, "100% funding" company to partner with as a beginner. I already have a property under contract but do not have funds for a 10%-15% down payment on a loan that will still then leave me 10%-15% short on total cost plus whatever closing costs may be. So I ask you, BiggerPockets pros, does 100% funding actually exist and if so who can get me started with an application today? 

I should add that I am in Ohio

Hi @Zachary Thompson. Congratulations on finding a deal! We pay tax on the money we make - not the money we handle. That is the reason people use leverage to finance big deals. 

For a lot of new investors, the book Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki is a great starting point. If you haven't read or seen his stuff before you might want to check it out.


 Thank you Jonathon! It's my first deal (if you couldn't tell) and just happened to end up being a subject to after I proposed it to the seller he jumped all over it! These numbers are just for example but I do expect a very pricey rehab bill on this one. Hated the thought of wholesaling and leaving so much meat on the bone and decided to take it on myself with 0 money out of pocket. It's been quite a task!


 Good for you! I don't know how much you follow the larger market movements - but I work with investors all over the country. Columbus is getting a lot of attention right now because of the chip plant that is planned to go in in the area. That definitely might be a good market to hold onto a place for a while if you are able to refi it after the rehab is finished up.


 I'm just tapped in enough to get myself in trouble 😅 this deal isn't in Columbus, however, I intend to start hunting around Columbus for that exact reason!

 Thank you Jonathan! I intended on wholesaling at first since it's my first deal but considering how much meat is on the bone with this one I decided to challenge myself and take it on with 100% other people's money. 

Thanks for the book suggestion! I have read a condensed version and listened to a full audio book of Rich Dad Poor Dad. It was a real eye opener and semi educational without a doubt!
