My attorney advised that I could put up a non-refundable option fee for maybe $100 - $500 dollars for a period of time that goes by and then increase for each # of days that goes by in the contract, so for instance:(Option Fee - not Earnest Money)$500 give to seller 3 days after contract is signed.If close hasn't happened within 15 days, give them another $500.If close hasn't happened within another 15 days, give them another $500. 

I paid a guy $1000 to remove trees and clean up the yard. replaced a sump pump (no receipt even after asking over and over.)

We live in Terre Haute, IN, which is in desperate need of investors to help clean up the area.

You also need to make sure the LLC has not previously been funded with non-retirement funds. 

@Kenneth A feldman ii a "business loan" is not really available for real estate since there are non-business loans available to buy investment properties. 

I will invest in a power wash clean out the dirt, silt.

title company will walk you through it since AZ is not an attorney closing state.just negotiate the rate of return.. do check your usury laws and make sure your not violating those.. title company wont do that for you.lender may need to be licensed but commercial non owner may be exempt I know in NV its not neither is Oregon or CA  but most states have a carve out if its a one off IE its the only loan she makes and she does not hold herself out as a lender in any means..not really complicated. 

If the unit is vacated you should be free to clean and relet.

We bought a nearby property and moved out.We're now trying to sell the property, but with close to $100k in non-house improvements (well, electric service, house pad, barn/workshop, fencing, etc.) it's a tough deal for a traditional lender to process.

I may just have the place cleaned up and sell it as is.
