I will not be able to do a cashout refi with a conventional lender for 12 months, and although Fannie and Freddie require a 12 month seasoning period for cashout refi's, it seems most convetional lenders, even in a straight out refinance (with no cash out) require 12 months as a policy.Does anyone have any recommendations for long term lenders that will balloon me out on a long term loan?

I am considering turning it on for a short period and see how it goes.

I would in no way give someone with no money and new to the business any kind of ownership of the asset period end of discussion..

Only renew really good tenants, period.

And bait and switch, 10 day Option periods for 10 days for $100 to surf for other Buyers to assign to - don't get me started LOL!

A general credit line, on the other hand, could be secured by other assets or unsecured, and doesn't necessarily involve your home equity.HELOC Characteristics: - Uses your home as collateral - Usually has a lower interest rate than unsecured credit lines - Typically has a variable interest rate - Allows you to borrow up to a certain limit, repay, and borrow again during the draw period - Can be used for various purposes, including home improvements, debt consolidation, or as an emergency fund While it's possible to use a HELOC for RE investing or rehab projects, some lenders may be hesitant about this use.

I have a property won at auction that is in the redemption period... it seems insurance companies will not insure it since I am not on the deed.

The transition into and out of LLC was my biggest concern because it might be viewed as a short holding period, but it seems to be fine.
