After I receive the funds from the sales, I will be looking to buy rental property here in Toronto.

When is the best time to fund the LLC?

I’m looking at funding and all-cash deal with private money or hard money.

I own my holdings through a publicly-traded mutual fund (there are many to choose from).

We are trying to finance an existing adult care home and our current commercial lender is offering 70% LTV roughly 6.5% 5 year fixed/25 yr amort.

You must provide the funds for this but we can use your exchange proceeds for part of it.

I am looking to use real estate to fund my 2 kid's college fund and eventually have enough cash flow to free up some time.  

Post-dated checks isn't bad as that would hurt her should she not have the funds or close her account...then of course I would just have to go through the hassle of eviction/collections.

*ALERT ALERT* – ALWAYS KEEP EXTRA FUNDS IN RESERVE FOR UNEXPECTED EXPENSES.

The problem is that you appear to be looking for 2nd position downpayment funding.
