Need to refinance a rehab we completed in May and have  been running into challenges with many banks due to seasoning requirements to go off the appraised value and deed in LLC.

. :)The Seattle area has been white-hot as far as rising home prices go, great news for the savvy flipper or talented wholesaler, not so great news if you're into traditional buy-hold investing as home prices have far outstripped the ability of rents to keep up.If you're looking for an informal meet-up to attend, @Troy Fisher and @Tiffany Plovie run a great series of get togethers in Kirkland/Seattle while their colleague @Kevin Carbon is passing the torch down in Tacoma-Lakewood.Cheers and good luck!

I've had good luck locally with Cendera Funding, but that's buying in my name, not a LLC or other entity.  

I have a question about LLC State Income tax.

My intention has always been to put each property in an LLC.  

I use a series of benchmarks to value the properties I purchase.I recommend you buy based primarily based on current rents, not potential rents.  

If the plan is to own 100+ rentals, is it prudent to put them each into their own LLC, or can they be lumped together as maybe 5 homes per LLC?

If they are willing to invest with you through a US LLC or obtain an ITIN (again I know your specific facts) this makes things easier otherwise you generally need to withhold 30% on passive income paid to foreigners (unless reduced by a treaty).

I started my LLC after I purchased my first home.

We discussed the parameters of our deal, and put together the outline of what would become our LLC.
