I walk up and say, "Hi my name's Bill, I just spent a few hundred dollars to set an LLC and I'd like you to give me a loan secured against some property.

.”, wouldn't he have to pay the attorney the additional $18,000 to actually own the house before selling it, or did he secure a payment plan or loan for the rest, then sold the house and payed off all monies owed?

You need the buyer to understand they will keep the security deed until/unless you completely pay them off. 

You can go to small claims for that, in case you don't have a security deposit to cover it and the damages already

Additionally, for purchases, it's possible to do portfolio, but it is difficult as you're working with 5+ different sellers at one time to secure one loan.

You can secure offers on the property.

Being a realtor has limitations as all transaction are regarded as regular income (add both side is SS and regular tax rate  25 percent, instead of long term capital gains15 percent) so for me it’s the difference of 23 percent taxes versus 46 percent.

Think of all the things that could go wrong and see if the lease addresses them: unauthorized pets or tenants, early termination, security deposit, lease violations, late rent, eviction, lawn maintenance, parking, etc.5.

I'm not a lawyer, but from my understanding you don't need a securities license to raise capital for your OWN deals (i.e. deals where you are the principal or a general partner).Also, the name of your title doesn't make much of a difference for anything other than marketing.

Give her the money for the security deposit, cash up front.
