We have thought about getting a line of credit through the bank, pulling in another partner to help out with cash, and also private money lenders. 

It's been a long time, so my memory is a little fuzzy, but it seems like we may have also offered a credit on their next month's rent to offset the higher cost of utilities during that time as well.

So my question I have is would it be possible for me to get a LOC (line of credit) with my local bank and then use it for down payments on my properties I want to invest in? 

@Tyler Hodgson  Just saw a loan recently with almost no fees, no down, and $4500 in closing cost credit, no MI. 

If so, go to a bank or credit union to do a cash-out refi and draw all your cash out.

If I move my property to LLC will I lose my credit history since I paid off mortgage?

There must be a custodian who holds the property title, the rent should be issued to the custodian and they are responsible for crediting your inherited IRA account.

Unfortunately, last year I went through some pretty hard times that dragged me into credit card debt.

I believe it is a common theme that when a lender advertises 9-12%, 9% is for the highest qualified applicants and 12% is for the people who are just above the minimums to lend on (i.e. beginners with low credit).Usually, the lenders that go down below 10% are national hard-money lenders and will not allow the borrower to put less than 10% of the total cost into the property.
