Renovations and sweat equity12.

Plus I never understood why anybody in their right mind would sweat their a***s off in FL when they can go to Disneyland in 70 degree sunny weather and see the same thing.

what your worried or talking about is the actual clsoing docsyour question was the purchase contract. the purchase contract is not public information.you can sign any way U want.. then in the vesting portion of the purchase contract put the name of the LLC... then the title co.. or closing attorney will ask for copy of your LLC.. and they will create the signature block to correctly correspond with your LLC..don't sweat the purchase contract.. no one is going to see it except for your closer.Notes are generally not notarized its the deed of trust or mortgage which ever they use.. and of course all the title co.. docs to indemnify them.. and none of those are public record as well.don't get so worried about this stuff ... its over kill most of the time.

It's a slower process for sure but one that allows me keep more money upfront and also add some sweat equity.

However, it seems like it may be easier to add some sweat equity and value to a single family home and I wouldn't have to worry about HOA fees and rules.

For example, you could decide to rent in SD (gives you a place to live, allows flexibility of moving in the future, doesn’t tie up your capital), put the money in bonds or something else with low volatility, don’t sweat the low return it’s an opportunity cost, and start researching property investing out of state.

@Holli Phillips  Ok got the picture now... 6500 surplus home sold as is... so there is no great surprise that this person living there is going to be spending all their money getting the house livable.this is called a sweat equity deal.. one of my clients up in Detroit has been doing this for years. 

It can be a huge benefit starting out to be able to get some sweat equity in your deal.

As we know from firsthand experience, many small business owners pour their blood, sweat, and tears into their businesses, generating substantial revenue in the process, only to discover that they owe the IRS equally substantial tax bills, making true success and profitability seem like a pipe dream.

Reid, I wouldn't sweat the LLC thing on this too much.
