Also, another opportunity may be in looking at builders hit hard by the real estate collapse, that can use a financial infusion.

@Ryan Ahlgrim @Howie MillerI've heard of people opening up a line of credit and drawing down on it a few months before they plan to do an acquisition, with the idea that the lender will only look at the past 2-3 months of bank statements for proof of funds so won't see the large infusion and start asking about the source.  

And the benefactors of the newly found cash infusion could have less than honorable intentions from the get go.It like a ponzi scheme for people who could not afford Madoff!

I am negotiating a working relationship where I would infuse capital for marketing and potentially capital to close deals.

Sometimes an infusion of cash to rehab the community is all it takes.

Can I consider this cash infusion into the LLC a loan from me, thus making the repayment of the loan a "business expense", thus a taxable write-off?

We've been able to infuse money into our local economy and provide work for others.Being good at this business naturally leads to a good return on investment and will provide an income stream as part of our retirement plan.

Finishing up business plan to present to investors for capital infusion into the REO, SFR, and commercial markets.

As long as your operating agreement doesn't prohibit additional infusions of capital, your IRA can continue to add additional capital to its LLC.

Chances are your old bylaws don't require a reserve account or are very loose in it's definition and a newer set of requirements will require a large cash infusion on a building that is 40 years old.What you need to have happen is for property values to increase so you can offer good deals to people that want to rebuild the place and aren't scared of spending some money.
