@Andrew Postell Do I need to actually transfer the money from my LLC to my personal account when filing the lien and deed? 

Quote from @Marc Shin: The only person that can possibly answer that is the seller.

Purchase price: $155,000 Cash invested: $215,000 Sale price: $417,500 This single family home project was a personal flip project.

I've been a lender here since I was moved here by a mortgage company in 1996 and we've personally been investing since 2008.

As a financial planner, I generally recommend clients build up a personal emergency reserve before investing.

In my experience these are the levels of how financial fraud is doneLevel 1 - The “sponsor” is a fraudster from the beginning and the entire investment is a designed fraud designed to steal the investor's money Level 2 - The sponsor initially intends to operate legally and honestly but the temptation of easy access to money, usually fueled by addictions to drugs, sex, partying, etc. leads to the bad decision to line the sponsors own pocketsLevel 3 - The sponsor intends to operate legally but a crisis in their life resulting in a need for money leads the sponsor to “borrow” from investor’s funds with the full intention of paying it back ( which they are unable to do).Level 4 - The sponsor intends to operate legally but the assets under their management incur substantial loses; the sponsor attempts to cover up these loses by “temporarily” borrowing from one investor to pay another or submitting false results.

A non-resident alien for tax purposes is a person who is not a U.S. citizen and who does not meet either the “green card” or the “substantial presence” test as described in IRS Publication 519, U.S.

I believe this would be a great property for a person from the states as most of our renters are from the US & Canada.

Where is all of that money going?? 

I don’t have any experience doing this personally, but I’m on Long Island and this is exactly what the couple who owns the property that my girl lives in does.They bought a home, lived in the home while they renovated it, added a basement unit and rented it out.
