I was driving by what looked like just a regular house- its for sale by the owner sign was in the yard and it said It was zoned commercial. Does this mean it can't be a rental? - Newbie Nat

most likly you wont get a loan in your LLC... for the credit reasons.. unless you have big commerical LOCs with PGs attached .. then they will loan in LLC .. and sue on the pg.No PG usually means loan to you pesonally.. and if you then deed to LLC  does not matter you signed the note your credit is trashed.. and TEXAS is one state that will chase you for deficiancies  at least they have the right to.west coast state we have whats called purchase money Deed of trust NO deficancy is allowed by law if lender does a foreclsure through a trustee sale.. if they go judicial they can get one.if its owner occ.. no deficiancy is allowed on any purchase money.. 

One other questions since there are so many experts willing to help :-) Can I refi one of my commerical properties that I already own INTO a FNMA loan?
