Also the agreement was more beneficial to them than to me. 

Hi @Robert Spiegel, My answer to this would truly be based on your Lease Agreement. 1.

So we create a partnership agreement and a new LLC and he funds the LLC account with 50k.

**eForms**: This site provides free residential subcontractor agreement templates in PDF and Word formats.

They have the correct lease agreement and disclosures and make it much easier.

If we rent to own, they are OK, but we cant refinance because we don't have the deed.Are there any unique scenarios to help us get the property for little money out of pocket, we have the ability to have the deedSign a lease agreement with a purchase option that allows you to buy the property at an agreed price at the end of the lease term, consider establishing a partnership with the seller to jointly invest in property repairs and improvements.

If that's not the case here, can you terminate the agreement without penalty at this stage?

With enough knowledge you can make a educated decision on which approach you take.My experience:I personally don't sign up for any program who take you aside during events and try to sell packages that is just blatant sales strategy.Once you sign up there is every attempt to make you sign for their programs for bookkeeping, registered agent, LLC or corp setup fee which have ridiculous even with platinum membership.Basic standard structure they suggest to take advantage of multiple deductions can be easily achieved by proper education or work with a good firm like https://wcginc.com  who is local to you.A umbrella C-crop to manage all other LLC properties and take advantage of many tax deductions that are not available with a llc, its also used to take losses up to 100K as startup expenses and dissolve the entity after few years.Few LLC entities for investing in Real Estate, etc preferably in Wyoming or Nevada ( you can find many companies online who can do this for $150 compared to anderson $1500-$3000) , they will claim they have a secret Operating agreement which is bogus.They certainly try to take advantage of tax loopholes and claim to be smart people, my view they are just taking advantage of numbers as per their own statements.

Sometimes, properties owned by non-profits have deed restrictions, zoning conditions, or agreements tied to their use.Tax Considerations: Non-profits often hold tax-exempt status, so you’ll need to ensure that taxes are assessed correctly once ownership transfers to you.Potential Public or Internal Scrutiny: If the transaction appears to undervalue the property or is perceived as exploiting a non-profit’s resources, it could lead to reputational risks for you or the organization.

They are agreements.
