There is also a strategy that places the property in a land trust with the LLC as the beneficiary.

I owe you dinner too ;) @Bill Exeter who just spent time with me on the phone to answer some questions about holding title as beneficiaries of a trust.

Can anyone tell me if I as a beneficiary, can take out a HELOC on my mothers property that is in a revocable trust for me? 

The Subdivision Map Act requires either the trustee or the beneficiary of any 'recorded title interest' to sign any map.

., requires that if the seller in an installment sale contract is a trust, in addition to the trust signing the contract, the names of the beneficiaries having the power of direction must be disclosed, the trustee must be named, and all must sign the contract. 765 ILCS 430/2.

Deed the property into your trust where your LLC is the beneficiary.  

This case and cases like it led the FHFA To require Fannie/Freddie to record Assignments of the loan to name Fannie/Freddie as beneficiary in order to avoid paying the Full HOA Balance As Well As To Address What The Transfer Tax Issue That Your Have Pointed Out Is Settled.

The only beneficiary in getting people to bid DD up is to make the buyer feel obligated to buy post-inspection, and therefore, more than likely get the close done.

The usual recommendation is that they be used in tandem with a land trust owner and LLC beneficiary.

It may be possible to contract with the heirs/beneficiaries in advance, however, as a buyer, I don't want to have to compete, but as a seller, I want the maximum number of competing qualified buyers.
