., here is just one of hundreds of previous threads about wholesaling REO's:- https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/93/topics/150...Basically, you will need to jump through lots of extra hoops if you want to go the "Land Trust" or "LLC transfer" route.

On another note, do you regularly do REOs?

Is there a better route or way of getting what I am looking for?

rewiring and old house is a pain i'm assuming its plaster and lathe. probably most of the 15k was for labor just to get to the wires, if a guy could trace  where the wires are routed maybe you could get a couple high school or college kids to sawzall out just enough channels so the sparky could refeed wires then cover the whole thing with rock, sometimes it works sometimes it doesnt. a 100 amp service is not alot for three units. 

If the mortgage route does not work out, how about a HELOC on the LLC owned property?

I would also suggest as you seek out an attorney, to make sure that you get one that deals with landlord tenant laws on a regular basis.

Well, I think your broker should get their cut, particularly if you're not doing a good number of regular deals where they get paid.  

I’ve heard lots of great stories from people I have met over the years, be it from flippers, commercial real estate investors, or just regular folks that are slowing building a portfolio of rental properties to support them in retirement.

For those that don't, going with a dark stain color can help to hide.Require the tenants to cover primary traffic routes with runners and the other areas with rugs.
