We are set to head back to Kyoto in a few months to start prepping the property ready for guests.

(well you said "negligible".

For that, you'll want to ensure your LLC is already set up and approved in the state where you’re operating.Most lenders are fine with the funds coming from your personal account, especially if the LLC is newly formed.

If there are lease violations, mention them-you not having a key to access the unit WITH proper notice or in case of emergency is one of them.I'd also tell the tenant that they are clearly not happy there, so finding a new place is in their best interest as well and as they have several months, they should have lots of options.

Looking to add some unique features as well, but some of the draws would be a hottub and stocked pond to fish from.

Well you may have found your new home!

Appreciate any advice at all.Things to note: I have a well qualified plumber tenant for the bigger under house garage already.

I second this - Beth is great and has a group as well where you can learn a ton on private lending.To the poster who mentioned giving them 100% financing - as a private lender NEVER give someone 100% financing.

You would end up saving the higher interest rate on the HELOC as well as closing costs.
