DSCR loans are the best option for holding title/taking out a loan in an LLC. 

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Any reason why we’re mixing RE holdings and S-Corporations?

If you just want a little bit to help purchase the 'next one', then reduced leverage, increased cash flow monthly, and repeat until here in a few years you can refinance a few into something bigger.Good luck! 

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

As a lender, we require flood insurance if the property is in a flood zone, which can eat into your cash flow if you want to hold the deal. 

The seller will obviously hold the debt/note for the existing mortgage while the title gets transferred to me.

It is up to you how far you take yourself using that skill.Now stop fighting and hold hands everyone.

Looks like one is better for a flip and the other has an incredible upside with equity so we plan on holding that one. 

@J Shoe I will start by saying consult with a personal attorney and CPA (and have them work together.)Typically people buy in an LLC just to keep their name off the record and for asset protection and operation agreements.As a sole investor a lot of people will buy in their personal name so they can more easily obtain quality financing, and then move the asset into the LLC.A lot of people of California use trusts (DSTs) to hold the asset, so they are not contributing to the problem of over taxation in CA, as CA has a franchise filing fee of $800 every year for each LLC.Just some things to think about, but find the professionals that can tailor a system for you personally.Cheers
