Hi,I have accumulated several single family houses in Indianapolis and was thinking about refinance and move them from my name to LLC.

. - Work to make yourself a strong borrower by setting aside money so you can accumulate a small chunk of capital to finance your next deal.- Communicate with local banks to learn what loans they offer, and to understand what you need to do to qualify for a loan with them.- Simultaneously communicate with hard money lenders to understand what they offer, be more straightforward with them about what you're looking to buy, and begin to understand what you need to do to qualify for a loan with them.- When you find a property that fits your criteria and the numbers work, make an offer that you can stand behind, and close on. - If you can't qualify for a loan with a local bank or hard money lender, then be patient and keep searching for deals until you're able to qualify for a loan.Sounds like a lot, but it really isn't too much, it's not overly complicated, and it's simply what you'll have to do if you want to invest.Be patient, keep working hardBest, Ryan

I've been looking into the option of using hard money loans to pay for rehab projects that I can fix, refinance for market value after construction is complete, and rent out in the north Texas area, but I feel like using a hard money lender requires a lot of up front costs and fees that tend to accumulate.
