There seems to be a handful of partially fixed Harvey homes in my area, the south side of Houston. 

When you sign the Option and submit it to the county does that include all needed paperwork to transfer down the road or will escrow need to get ahold of seller to sign things 30 yrs later?

And if any Realtor would like give me a hand, I would be happy!!

You can also speak to a CPA if you need to transfer funds from the LLC to your name.

Are you a hands on landlord, or would you prefer to avoid weekend maintenance calls or monthly rental income and expense management? 

When it takes them a month to get to the point we are now, included pulling my credit and then pull this, it appears their forcing my hand.

Here are two quick and dirty ways: for the lowest interest rate get a HELOC on your home.Since it's a 5 unit you're facing commercial rates and are playing in the big leagues of financing which means you need a seasoned entity combined with personal guarantee for the lowest possible interest rate.You can buy a seasoned entity online (make sure it's in the same state) that has a 80 or higher credit score, move the entity to the property address, change all the credit lines to the new address, transfer the property into it, and get your credit score to 720+.Apply for a commercial loan if you don't want to go the HELOC route.

You might call the city for any code violations that would transfer to you upon buying the note.

After listening to the podcast and reading as many books as I can get my hands on, I'm taking Brandon and Josh's advice (which is always awesome coming from them) to analyze deals in my area to get a sense of the market and what constitutes as a great deal. 

I am deliberating two possible scenarios for myself in the future to continue down the path of working for my self and family as well as investing.Scenario:80k-100k cash on hand not in a rushOption 1 potentially:Find a older duplex 30-40k for cash with a higher estimated arv than the projected rehab, rehab property, rent, refinance.
