I’m starting to reach that point of analysis paralysis and haven’t pulled the trigger.

I think I might just be a bit anxious to pull the trigger...

In addition to checking their personal information you could pull corporate information from Dunn and Bradstreet as well as looking them up in the Corporation commission in your state.

What if the broker offers to pull permits, rehab, find tenants or sell at market prices for a 50/50 split and turn around in 12 months (from rehab to rent/sell, exclusive of permitting)?

As soon as we can pull equity out of the new house, we will want to begin investing in rental properties in the Nashville area.

I currently do have a HELOC on this home that I have been pulling and putting back for flips and projects but its only about 70k.

I used a FHA loan to get in to a HUD home, lived in it and completed the renovation, leveraged huge equity  to finish a second renovation that was technically a new construction loan, sold the rehab, got a partial lien release combined with a re-finance from the FHA loan, pulled $30k in HELOC, bought another rental, moved, and then rented the original SFR...then on and on...lots of moving parts.It's a lot like feeling your way through a maze where you are at right now, but don't be intimidated.

So you may be pulling a 15 CAP for the $500/mo complex, and only an 8 CAP for the $1k/mo complex. 

I will definitely research some more before pulling the trigger.

My question is: does it make more sense just to pull the money straight out of my LLC to invest in real estate, or should I invest in my 401K with matching and then loan from my 401K?
