@Tobi Isaacs, I'm a licensed mortgage lender. 

If the software is not simplifying your life or making you more accurate, you shouldn't use it.Software does have extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

I talked to my lender contact and, as Kerry mentioned above, it's pretty uncommon that a traditional lender would offer a HELOC product on an investment property (non-primary home). 

My question is, if I do want to make an offer funded with a HELOC, can I later bring in investors or even a hard money lender before the purchase?

We managed to bring the property down in price, overcome objections, and navigate the eviction battle, and in the end, it paid off.The key takeaway here is that if you’re a true cash buyer who can work with private lenders, you can survive long, drawn-out processes like this.

Talk to a mortgage broker or lender experienced with LLC-owned properties before transferring ownership.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Some rehab lenders have favorable refinancing programs to convert the rehab loan to permanent 30 year financing.

The bill is due to be reviewed on Feb 13th.
