If you do go this route, make certain that you have an ironclad option agreement and that it is properly recorded in the public records so that the actual owner of the property cannot refinance the property based off of the money you put into it or sell it out from under you.

@David Edwards, the only "right" way to completely separate your properties from your personal fiances is to move them into a properly established and maintained LLC and refinance the properties in the name of the LLC. 

Make sure to run proper analysis and ask for second opinions from the other investors you have networked with.Good luck and persevere.

If the value is there to cash out more than you have into it, then you can balance how much additional cash you want vs. your cash flow comfort level.

The remaining balance will be due in 30 days.

Yeah so I am currently paying it down, and will be under the 6 figure balance soon.

Once you have all the info the only thing I can provide is doc checks of trades you wish to hire; to insure you are properly protected during and after the job.

I am not able to put my name on that loan (only spouses can), so what is the proper way to establish our partnership/LLC so we are equal partners?  

The current fence(neighbors fence) is in almost dilapidated conditions and I’m fearful that this will discourage tenants in future turnovers if not dealt with so with that being said this weekend I plan to reach out to the new neighbors, I’ve already lined up one of my guys to install a new 6ft fence but it will require the demo of their current fence and the dogs to be put up while the work is being done(don’t need anybody getting bit) my question becomes though if you are a dog owner shouldn’t you be required to have a proper and safe fence or does this matter fall into my lap, I don’t want to make to make a big issue because well these neighbors could end up causing more trouble then it’s worth..

If the work is not 100% complete by the end of the Escrow period, loan may implement a .50% (on total loan balance) extension fee that will cover an additional construction term of 60 days.
