We plan to utilize hard money but I am interested in opinions for other options.

Address the issue at the source.

I currently live in New York but I am currently exploring the options of investing in a small multifamily property.

Can you share the source of that information about not being able to invest in certain states using your ira LLC?  

You may find them excited about either option.

I'm reaching out to this community because I find it to be a valuable source of knowledge and insights, especially when it comes to real estate investing.I've come across a potential real estate investment opportunity recently, and I'm eager to gather some feedback and insights from fellow enthusiasts and professionals in the field.The property in question is located in Central Florida, in an area that I believe holds significant promise for future growth and appreciation.

As for your question on the hard money lenders - I don't think it matters how you source the equity for a deal, but it's more important how much equity/downpayment you can put down on a deal - i.e. 10%, 20%, 30%, etc...

If you proceed with optional Repairs/upgrades you will likely bust budget (hopefully not as bad as we did), but should have years of trouble free service.  

We give our clients a few different good options and lately our client's have been independently going with Lease Killers every time.
