A couple of alternatives:  get a HELOC on your own residence and using it for all or some of the entire process, or obtain a 203(k) renovation mortgage which will not utilize the LLC.

It works well and I think helps attract tenants (lower vacancy).

There are a few CPAs on here with experience in alternative investment funds such as real estate syndications.

Clients preferred a ready to rent property because of busy W-2 jobs and were really focused on areas where they could attract top flight tenants.

If you are looking to fund your first deal often times there are other alternative ways to find funding for your first deal as the majority of your first year payments on a whole life insurance policy goes towards the cost of insurance rather than the actual build up of cash value.

For all the clients I'm advising on new purchases we're targeting 20% COC after all expenses, including my management fee.We are looking for turnkey SFRs with at least 3-bedrooms, and specifically shifting focus to more vacation-y areas, although there are still some attractive opportunities in and around Cleveland. 

Sedona is attractive at first glance but it has developed a reputation as a crystal shop, pink jeep, airy-fairy tourist town.

If that option isn't attractive to you, a lender could definitely still underwrite and put together a loan package for all of them as a commercial loan. 

Also make the home look like you did when you were trying to attract buyers....lights on, blinds open, no pets, easy access, etc.

Guess I need to warm up to what “attractive” means.
