My main hesitation is that I live in a strong housing market where prices seem to be forever rising.

(there are some exceptions, so call around your local small banks and credit unions)  Your main option is going to be a cash out refinance, and again, most banks want the property to be in your personal name, not an LLC or trust, to do the loan. 

The property required getting a trust certificate made by the trustee, paying cash for the properties prior to the tax sale and now were are working on obtaining a forced easement to gain access to the main road.

I am interested in buying your home at xxx main street in (That Town)I can close in less than 30 days, and if it helps, I will pay all closing costs. 

I will be working in the loop so my main thing is being near public transit wherever I live.

I work with investors who want more cash flow, so their main goal is to invest in markets that have high rents, high rental demand, low taxes, and a good price to allow you a good amount of cash flow after all expenses are deducted. 

That is the main reason why I am worried.

But It is really worth it when thinking about loans to consider your options because the most important element in real estate investing is TIME.

I use 4 main categories of asset/liability:Retirement accounts/529 planLiquid equities (stocks/mutual funds)Real Estate (properties and bank accounts)Personal (personal accounts, vehicles)I was going to use personal capital, but they had trouble accessing all of my various accounts and I got uncomfortable with having a 3rd party have my usernames and passwords.

I know this is a complicated subject, mainly because there are lots of investors who are happy to break the law (because the police don't enforce it) and so this has led people to have wrong opinions about what is legal.
