balance transfers to the LLC?

Only issue with this is that if owner needs money, you'll likely have to come up with the difference between the loan balance and the value of the home as a down payment. 

My other option would be to do a 75% LTV at 7.5% interest, but I would have to come up with $20,000 to pay off my HELOC or carry the balance on my HELOC and pay interest on that as well.

We offer all 3 options (4 if you include email which go to a unified inbox). 

Rather than me saving up for a down payment to use with a Hard Money Loan to quickly purchase a property, I spent the last 2 years trying to balance out my debt from the program and debt from daily life.MY advice is DONT DO IT.

That way if anyone complained your small portion each month would balance things out.

Cash flow / Balance sheets / etc. 

It's important to do your due diligence and research the local market, as well as establishing a strong network of professionals to support your investments.Ultimately, the best deals are the ones that align with your investment goals and provide a good balance of cashflow and potential for long-term growth.

You are starting a new lease with these tenants, so basically you can charge whatever you want, including pet deposits and pet rent (assuming its legal to do that in your state), and increase in rent (again, some states limited how big of a % you can increase it).Its the balance of increasing it closer to market and protecting yourself for eventual damage by having pets in your units vs inducing a vacancy and starting over.....which can be scary but often its a good thing when you take over someone else's tenants.
