Not worried about repairs, more just collecting rent from tenants willing to live in this neighborhood.

This is completely appropriate - except that wasn't how I was going to use it. 

Thoughts on this commission?   

To me, this is a cost that won't "add value" to your BRRRR, so I would more strongly consider how much it might impact your ability to rent the unit/house.

Hello,I have several ways to fund a down payment on my first investment property and would like to know the "safest" way to do so...Cash, borrow against my 401K (and does this method constitue the start of my investments) or HELOC. 

Is this a typical scenario?

Does this also mean “selling” the property to the LLC and paying capital gains tax?

As the tree is cleared and we get access to the property, what should be done to be most efficient? 

I’m debating if this is worth it in the long run because If I do then I get them paid off earlier but at the same time I could be using that extra money to expand my portfolio and buy more houses .

What do you think is a reasonable split to consider in this scenario?
