Semper Fi!

I don't remember the take on FI or REI, but it really covered the basics.

I also would recommend Jon Hyndiuk (Hyndiuk Law, he also owns ISR Title), Michael Plumb/Rob Sayas (Sayas, Schmuki & Plum SC)--I think Rob owns or is a partner in Royalty Title, Rob Saya's brother Jonathon Sayas is also an attorney and is Stewart Title's on staff attorney, and James Eby who is also a popular RE lawyer and he's been involved in some probate deals we've done.

Or are we ok because it's just a LOC and not a sale/re-fi?

I am shopping around for a loan on my first investment property in SC. I

Semper Fi.

I understood it to mean pretty much what is wrote above but my lender said she couldn't lend on it so I asked if we could do a re-fi on a SFR that we own and that's how we ended up doing it. 

I definitely need to find a partner regardless of the help for getting this deal going because I've had a recent argument with the missus of the relationship and I'm pretty much alone on this adventure for FI....I've got time all day at work to listen to the info that I want to gain info and knowledge for helping anyone and everyone who wants to know more as long as the info is in audio format then I can learn it and assist or teach anyone else who wants that info.

Results may vary, but the most common thing to do is keep it in your personal name for 6-12 months and get a cash out re-fi through a regular bank.

@Mark McGuire I would think through whether you really "need" that 18k back. 18k is not that much in the grand scheme of things, and the cost to do a re-fi to get access to that capital would probably be around 4k or so.
