I'm looking for a portfolio loan on the 5 to reinvest in more homes. 3 are rented with long term leases and I'm about to list 1 for sale.

And regarding the property itself, if that was truly that great of a deal, wouldn't the seller also know it, or the seller get a realtor to tell them that, or a retail buyer see the listing and know that.

May turn out to be a not-so-great deal after the bidders get to it.I'm hopeful for your sake it's a great deal.I don't know the nuances of Harris County Sheriff sales, but I'm sure someone else here does.  

No firsthand experience, but every time I've seen this question come up the responses indicate that for a few small units LLC will not protect you better than simply adding an umbrella policy to your insurance while being more complicated and expensive to maintain.Also many snags to consider such as banks not likely to finance residential property to the name of an LLC, transferring to an LLC later can trigger a due on sale clause in your mortgage, if you mix personal funds and LLC funds to pay for something you can negate all legal protections.

He's planing on putting it up for sale when he's finished for around 200,000.
