double close always...it's the easiest way...no one sees anything so no one has questions....personally the I've never had a buyer interested in any of those others methods like selling my LLC...to much to get an LLC time after time..anything over 5k is a double close....after the start up cost of an LLC you'd save alot just payin for a double close and offering that incentive to the seller and buyer...Personally Ibe never heard of a real person in real life selling an LLC to get a properate...it's kind of guru hype to me...although It can be done....A double close woth your funds or the sellers funds is the cleanest way everyone's happy.

I know this is missing from most start up investors.

You might want to consider a coach - someone like @Brian Gibbons or @Michael Quarles to help you get thru the "start-up" phase.  

I could invest in my cousin's start up and be a millionaire in a year.
