That LLC could be split so that you own, say, 75-80% equity until cash flow coming to you equals your initial investment.

The only catch is that the Purchase Price and Rehab cannot equal more than 65% of the ARV. 

After I do the rehab and get renters I then go through the refinancing process to get the ARV and LTV and use my LTV (my second mortgage) to pay off my initial mortgage (assumingI made sure the LTV is equal to or larger than the first mortgage).Is this correct?
