Borrow the money interest free and compound on.

Both of the members of the LLC we are hoping to do the cash out refinance for are also LLCs if that matters, so it would be distributed from one LLC to another LLC to hopefully the members pockets.Want to make sure that the money remains tax free the whole way and we don't have any surprises. 

I can buy a 2-4 unit with 20% down vs conventional can only buy a 2-4 INVESTMENT property with 25% down 4. there are options where DSCR loans dont repot to personal credit, helps in not having to show a bunch of paperwork or not one person in a partnership has to carry the debt5. way less paperwork to close on this loan type vs a conventional loan. we care about the income of the property you're buying and it's ability to service the debt of the property whether we use long term rents income, lease income, or air dna/bnb income.6. easily buy in partnerships, add people to your operating agreement, its as easy as that so bring partners into a deal. helps with scaling and raising capital or getting partners involved7. gift funds allowed to close on these as well, and like I said earlier, there's only a 10day seasoning period of funds with some lenders so that means you can literally have a private money lender deposit money into your account 11 days before closing, and you can use those funds to close!

But consumers sued them all too many times and for too much money.

There's no current loan on it right now.Given that the investor is a family member (that's how I'm reading it), buying the LLC will "save" you money from buying the land yourself as there won't be any closing/transaction costs.

I personally spend about 50K a year in masterminds and always get my money back just through network of individuals you get access to.

Just do your numbers and control the deal to make money.  

We have a high saturation of rentals that has caused the market to lose money. 

At least weekly I think about the the fact that someone else is going to work to give me 1/3rd of their money.

If you're planning to rehab properties for rental or flipping, a hard money lender might be the right fit.
