If the transaction was arms length and everything was done per the investor and mortgage servicers guidelines then to my understanding there should be not be an issue with fixing up the property and reselling in accordance with any agreements executed. 

Make sure that it is an ARM not a balloon, and that there is no prepayment penalty!

So I have a LLC that contains 3 properties, 5-year ARM mortgages on them.  

Thanks for not making it cost an arm and a leg.

Hopefully I explained that sufficiently.Most of my rentals are not held in this manner, but I do love the tax free benefits (rent getting deposited right into your IRA tax free) and will continue to use this as one arm of my multi-faceted strategy in real estate.
