OR refi one at 70% and get the 45k loan leaving some debt on the line of credit but keeping home 3 free and clear and adding a lot of value to it as well as getting some really good rental income from it.

Define roles, financial contributions, profit-sharing, and responsibilities in a detailed agreement.

I’d love to learn from all of you, connect with like-minded people, and eventually achieve financial freedom together! 

My end game is to show you a path to financial independence, whether that be at 45 yrs old or 70 yr old.  

They literally went through each operating agreement and prepared an email listing out each member of each LLC and clarifying they each had to guarantee the loan despite the fact none of those entities were even being used for the purchase (which was previously explained to Dominion Financial). 

I look for cashflow to service the debt, repairs, cap ex, taxes, and insurance while the equity grows, my taxes are decreased, and rents are increased to make more cashflow. 

I am a newbie in this realm and looking forward to learning all I can in this endeavor of becoming financially independent.

@Greg StrunakA good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

They also want a priority lien on the property.It sounds like you are looking for someone to fund your down payment, I would be looking for an equity partner over debt as nobody likes to lend money in insecure positions, especially when a borrower lacks skin in the game.How much are you planning to come in with yourself?

Please let me know the financial implications.
