Steve McGovern you posted an idea last year that my attorney just mentioned to me as a possible solution to this issue of placing rental properties under an LLC.

Adam, here's the guy that is having REI group meetings in Medford: Ben Wood of Bear Creek Home Solutions. 

I would price both and see what is the more cost-effective (long term) solution.  

The only solution I can think of is a short sale.

We are feeling stuck right now and looking for any possible solution to this ordeal.

More preferential tax treatment.

I have endlessly searched and searched for months trying to find a solution, just to end up with nothing. 

We also have 25 licensed real estate agents at our firm who specialize in helping investors buy and sell rental houses.Our sister company does all the renovation and maintenance work, which allows us to be a true end-to-end solution for investors who are looking for discounted properties.Since we buy, sell, rehab, and manage for commissions instead of profits, we view ourselves as an alternative to the turnkey model that many companies offer.Personally, my dream is to own many more units across the southeastern United States over the next 10+ years.  

I agree that the solution we offer is not for every investor.  

The first thing I did when I sat down with a brokerage firm was explain my expectations...I plan to invest, I plan to use creative financing, because there is a huge market we are leaving out by not implementing it, and I plan to specialize in win-win solutions (again using creative financing)... if the brokerage could not agree and support my objectives, I would not agree to align myself with a brokerage that I will be paying some of my income yet subjecting myself to lose money due to abiding by their scared rules.
