This might change their decision to pull the trigger on moving up to a larger house or an investment property.

(Note: not own the property out of the LLC, don't want to trigger a sale).

I don't want them contacting the lender obviously to verify anything and triggering the due on sale clause in case the financing doesn't go through with that lender.

As usual, apologies for ignorant or overly basic questions, typos, etc...so over the past year i have successfully converted a traditional ira over to a sd ira with checkbook control and have had good early success with cash purchase and rental of 5 single family dwellings. on the post-tax side i am am about to pull the trigger on my first leveraged investment property, also a sfd on which i have an executed contract and will close in a few weeks.  

I pretty much understand the financing options but I'm still shell shocked on which one to pull the trigger on..I'm anticipating on doing my first deal but I'm at a stand still point on deciding which option to use @aaronhowell  

Pull the trigger.

Typically FHa is 3.5% down but because you brought in an non occupant coborrower you've triggered a clause within FHA that requires you to bring in 25% down which thereby defeats the whole purpose of using FHA.

THis will make a difference to your tax treatment, meaning single member wont necessarily trigger "ordinary income" as a multi-member would - Im NOT an accountant, but did just last week setup a couple more entities and made some changes to an existing one.One other suggestion - PA has a 2% transfer tax (1% to buyer, 1% to seller) that you want to keep in mind).

Before I decide to pull the trigger on a direct mail or other marketing campaign, I want to make sure I'm spending that money in a way that will pay off in the long run.

I get what your saying, Im probably searching more for the actual pros and cons on the structuring of this deal or a similar one when Im ready to pull the trigger.
