I want everything on paper so there is no grey areas, also want to leave the table so everyone is also happy moving forward!.

I would leave them in my LLC and work with a small business bank in your area to do a portfolio loan. 

(for the most part) Used very little of my money and avoid capital gains tax mainly using my stock/options proceeds as half of the Down payment for the FHA loan.I'm leaving a lot of detail out, but overall even though I didn't have cash to invest i created a gameplan while continuing to learn/educate myself about real estate and stock investing, and leveraged my knowledge until the right time/opportunity presented itself.Cheers,

I want to give my children the gift of property so I am looking for some properties to leave for them. 

The plan that I have worked out for financing, etc requires me to leave my current position and start this RE venture full time, so there is some hesitation, but I think with my heavily researched plan of attack, I am becoming more comfortable and excited about the idea. 

Its usually best to leave the flooring for last (unless you take the time and material to cover it with paper to protect the new installation.)

Office can also leave pretty quick in the middle of the night.

You might want to pick @Russell Brazil's brain a bit before leaving your backyard and heading north to Baltimore.  

I like this option as it leaves substantial cash and I could buy 2-3 rental properties with 20% down conventionally quickly (I'd start with 1 for 3-6 months). 

@Valentine SernaYour friend would absolutely not want to take a loan if he is about to leave the company.
