If you're looking to make short term use of the equity and have a private lender/investor who's willing to think outside of the box, you might be able to create a custom repo agreement. 

People always go for the cheapest financing, quit claim in to an LLC and go about their lives, when they've essentially done nothing to protect their personal assets. 

Brokers protect the interests of all of the investors, but investors only want to protect their own interests, which can leave some investors out in the cold. 

Not only does it protect you, but it also provides the opportunity to open checking accounts for each property under its LLC, which will make tracking income and expenses much easier.

Most of the sponsors do not have full real estate cycle experience but a relatively smaller number do.2) Most of these deals are protected under nondisclosure agreement.

Using escrow company & title insurance will protect you from an unwanted surprise.

There are less restrictions in North Las Vegas and Henderson.The city is very protective of the big casino/hotel operators, and rightfully so. 

@Dave Harlan They have an amazing product but your better off using a mortgage broker with a great reputation for customer service because they offer wholesale pricing advantages to their brokers and the only complaints I've ever heard about them have come from service issues on the retail side.

It’s a beautiful custom home, one of the nicest in a so-so Oakland neighborhood ("biggest house in not the best area").Here’s the context:- Bought in 2014 for $590k, appraised in 2022 for $1.2m.- Located in a C- to B neighborhood—close to amenities and mostly safe but not for everyone.- Converted to a rental in 2024; initially rented for $4,750/month, but tenants moved out, and the soft Bay Area rental market has made filling it challenging.

Monarch does a great job of being the "dashboard" and appears to have good customization features.
