@Ken Nyczaj  If the house is listed with an agent, there is a contract between them - or to be precise, there's a contract between the seller and the brokerage. 

A Qualified Opportunity Funds (QOFs) are a type of investment vehicle that allow investors to receive certain tax benefits for investing in Qualified Opportunity Zones (QOZs).

Also, find a great broker that has an off market deals list that can get you in precisely what I describe above.

Perhaps you didn't want to drive your family around in an unsafe vehicle with bald tires? 

However, if you have equity in a vehicle or other large purchases it may be worth redoing the loan to get some extra cash.

I began my real estate journey two years ago when - as a Finance and Accounting student - I realized that real estate holds more economic opportunity than any investment vehicle I was being taught in school - namely stocks, ETFs, commodities, mutual funds, bonds, currencies, 401(k), IRAs, etc.

So, most loans will be secured by an asset (lien on a property, vehicle, etc) and you are an member/owner will have to personally guarantee the debt.

I formed an LLC for my vehicle transportation business.

Your comment is so precise.

I recommend starting with Matt Risinger's channel - he's in your state and has some amazingly informative stuff.Construction is an amazing vehicle for getting sued, and the dollar amounts are astounding.
