My biggest mistake was failing to account of deferred maintenance in my "down payment".

My question is, what is the best way to get it from my LLC to my personal name for a cash out refinance in 6 months?

Feel free to use my name.

There are lenders in Oregon and Washington that will provide funds to bid.you must deposit 20% of the bid amount with them.. so lets say opening bid is 200k you need 40k.they put up the rest.. then they take a security interest in your trustees receipt and put their name on it to protect them.then once the trustee's deed comes they roll it into a normal HML.. with Deed of trust and note.they will also provide the lists and do the bidding for you.. their is a fee for each ala carte component.. so there has to be significant meat in the deal to make this work for the investor.. its a flippin money machine for the lender though. 

Since purchasing a home with an LLC can only be done with a commercial loan we were considering buying it in our personal names and later transferring it to the LLC.

Also using this site, as you already are, is great for getting your name out there and making connections that others may miss.
