Hello, I am a foreign national that will start an RE investment company in the US in partnership with a US friend from Stanford Business School with great credit.

As I sit and wait the corporate job situation, I want to get into the game and have explored a SDIRA to invest in my partnerships.

Personal name, most national lenders will do a HELOC up to 80% loan to value (but in this case that will be your purchase price). 

My wife and I aren’t rocket scientists and neither of us worked in real estate before quitting our corporate day jobs.  

If I own my properties via an investment holding company that owns subsidiaries that take title to my properties can I do a property cash out refinance and pay the proceeds to the holding company tax free to buy more properties that are fully owned by the holding company to protect each of my properties from each other.Would an LLC or Corporation structure be preferred for this to work?

The title is currently held by my corporation. 

@Demetria SanchezI am in Georgia and I have done this multiple times.The closing attorney will want a corporate resolution authorizing the sale and naming who will sign the documents .The corporate resolution has to be signed for whoever has signing authority and I was never asked to have the resolution notarized.I have already a master resolution that I use for those cases but the closing attorney can do it for you (some may charge you $50 for it )

Does anyone have a recommendation for either national or local lenders (I’m based in LA) that will include short term rental income in a debt to income calculation to help finance a separate conventional mortgage?

I have a colleague from my national guard unit who purchased his first 4-bed house at age 20 and rented out 3 bedrooms for enough to make his payment and cover all expenses, plus a little profit for himself while he attends college. 

No one notices or cares about generic corporate postcard.
