If you are purchasing with hard money, the plan to refinance or sell in the next 12 months or so, most will not require you to show your rehab budget. 

My husband and I like many here, are so thankful for this community as we navigate our real estate journey.

That feels really slimy to me so I wouldn't do that.

Maybe so, but it seems that a "watchtower" style house would appraise. 

There is no good reason to do so.

So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

Is it as simple as signing paper work to transfer it or does she have to legally sell it to my LLC and if so what would we be looking at as far as being taxed on it?

In the future if you're representing yourself in the sale; meet the appraiser at the property and give him the comps you came up with to justify the price. highlight any inferiorities to your property on the comps so they can see.If you're working with an agent and they're not doing this: drop them immediately.

How can I use creative finance from the seller so that I do not have to put down a large amount and through a bank. 

So I just signed up for Buildium and wanted to hear feedback about using their platform for accounting.
