I bet there are many newbies in the forums that are more knowledgable than many of the investors that I know.

I am just trying to say that you are making a forward bet based on a lot of assumptions, many which are completely out of your control.I have purchased a number of off-plan (pre-constructions) properties.

What is the process and estimated costs associated with transferring a property from my LLC to my name in order to refinance?

I have an investor that wants to refinance one of his properties to try me out and see what kind of job I can do for him.

In other words if you are taking the loan in your name (most likely, hard to get a loan in a new LLC) then titling the property in your LLC to refinance you will need to quit claim the property back into your name to refinance (sfr to 4 unit properties especially) which resets the title seasoning.

Should I:A) Get a loan and buy the house that way B) Just finance the deal myself and then refinance later and get cash out (to invest in other projects)C) Do something that I haven't thought ofJennifer

If a property has clouded title, you will most likely not be able to EVER sell or refinance it.4.

I was planning to pay cash for the house and rehab costs and then refinance, but after reading some of the posts here, it looks like that may be harder than I was anticipating.

Maybe it is a dumb bet to wait for appreciation.

I may refinance it later and buy another if it goes along well.
