Hey Kenneth - I've never used Zenbusiness but I do in North Dakota we go directly to the state website and open up a "Foreign LLC" whenever we're buying and doing business in other states with properties. 

Lenders tend to have different requirements.... some look for a required minimum membership interest and others look solely at direct benefit the signer receives which could be membership interest, fee etc.

I am always opening to learning more i also would like to be pointed in the direction of a reputable financial advisor for business purposes.

If you're not using Hard Money and the property won't qualify for conventional financing, then you'd probably need to locate private money or if you have friends with IRAs, they can be self-directed to invest in real estate.

Please direct Mr.

Or I could cash out REFI and pay my mom off and probably a portion of the HELOC. 

😊 Goals give us two things: direction on where we want to go, and the motivation to get us there.Imagine your ideal existence.

Alternatively, if you’re using QuickBooks Online with a plan that includes the "Payments" feature, you can collect rent directly through QuickBooks while staying on top of your bookkeeping

Looking forward to receiving direction and insight from a vast and amazing resource.

If the seller already has an agent, the agent is his/her legal representative so it's better to deal with the agent directly than the seller.
