Most properties in my area have property taxes between 3K-4K.  

You can cash out refinance, allowing you access that equity tax deferred. 

A local credit union also mentioned something called a "savings secured loan" which can be used for anything (even going on vacation), but I don't know if there are tax benefits to that and I don't think I can do that under an LLC.  

I suggest Nevada because of the proximity to CA, landlord friendly, and low property taxes.

Say a 550,000 loan with 25% down at 10% interest on 15 yr vs 30 yr. 15 yr monthly payment-- $4,40030 yr monthly payment -- $3,600Does not include property tax 

It is in their best interest to allow you to show it so that if you can secure a tenant prior to the end of their lease they will have a "rent refund".Including a sample of our 360 imagery we use for marketing: https://portfolio.zinspector.com/tour/OR4zL9dqx06EK7av4GRXljoGbmWA1PZw 

So essentially you will need money for ten percent of the purchase price, the first portion of the rehab, and holding costs to pay the hard money payments monthly and taxes/insurance. 

I'm starting to see some of the same things I saw just prior to 2008 that could be interpreted as warning signs. 

I can't speak for you, but we have decided to meet with our accountant to determine the tax consequences of a sale so that I can take as much capital out of it and move that into a better performing asset.
