Banks usually like to have their loans secured by assets such as RE, equipment/inventory, or other tangible things.Hope this helps.

But on a large job where you;re just getting a remodel permit anyway, it's a no-brainer.

I have a couple of short term first trust deeds ready to mature and need to re-deploy this capital.

@Becky Hoffman by "re-naming" do you mean changing from "Dewey Cheatem & Howe LLC" to "Cheatem & Howe LLC"?  

I’m really interested in commercial RE, rental properties, flipping, investment, and possibly wholesale.

Just based off statistics the vast majority of people (nevermind the vast majority of RE investors) will never replace their W2 income w/ RE income.

I watched a bunch of the OwnerRez videos and honestly OR and HA look eerily similar. 

Most of the loans I do are on 25 to 30 year amortization, and included in that is people calling me b/c their current bank would only do 15 or 20 in cases where they've had the property for 15 or 10 years already.Every time your car insurance is up for renewal, that's an opportunity to make the carrier earn, or re-earn, your business.

This would require tenancy in common which lenders typically won’t allowTransferring ownership from personal names to LLC is straight forward with a deed transfer and re-assigning the tenant leases.

There were several things in the yard I had to re-do because I didn't think them through well enough at the beginning.
