You also need to make sure the LLC has not previously been funded with non-retirement funds. 

@Kenneth A feldman ii a "business loan" is not really available for real estate since there are non-business loans available to buy investment properties. 

For this reason you may want to stick extra money you have into a publicly traded reit instead of trying to buy real estate right now.The way around this loan dimemma would be to have someone (like a friend or family member) co sign the loan, which means if you don’t pay the debt they’d be liable for it.

title company will walk you through it since AZ is not an attorney closing state.just negotiate the rate of return.. do check your usury laws and make sure your not violating those.. title company wont do that for you.lender may need to be licensed but commercial non owner may be exempt I know in NV its not neither is Oregon or CA  but most states have a carve out if its a one off IE its the only loan she makes and she does not hold herself out as a lender in any means..not really complicated. 

We bought a nearby property and moved out.We're now trying to sell the property, but with close to $100k in non-house improvements (well, electric service, house pad, barn/workshop, fencing, etc.) it's a tough deal for a traditional lender to process.

Sometimes these books are available through public libraries, but not always.

@Bonifacio Capuyan If this contractor remains unresponsive and doesn't settle soon, I am a big believer in making his fraud public - naming and shaming. 

If anyone can tell me some areas I should look into or non traditional alternatives to the average real estate agent I'd appreciate it.

I’ve read Brandon Turner’s Rental Properties book and Low (no) Money Down investing book, along with some other non-BP related books.

@Matthew Paul - you are in the minority as I believe many homeowners would definitely prefer to have public utilities (as many of us don’t have backhoes)
