Options are somewhat limited. 

We have a purchase now for an investment in northern cal with limited appraisers in the area the turn time is much longer .

A conventional investment loan will be limited to 80% of appraised value, usually called "20% down" although if the sale price is below appraised value that gets you in with < 20%. 

However, for just yourself, I personally don't see a reason for the limited liability protection, the primary benefit of a LLC.Good luck.

It depends on which bank you're using in some cases and as to what they specifically might be able to do with online options or you- some banks have Zelle for free transfers, but have little hang-ups like daily limits of $750. 

However there are FHA products that allow some limited rehabilitation funds.

Whether or not there is anything to be concerned about, you are foolish if you don't spend the time and money on a GOOD REAL ESTATE attorney (practice limited to real estate, good reputation, and works with a lot of buyers) to explain the contract to you.  

And that means companies need to have more lucrative offer to attract engineers from limited talent pool and that can boost salary.

My point is; if your funds are limited, try to purchase a 4-unit property with the same amount of money, but you still need to do the math.

I know all these affect loan options but I have been hearing a lot of no's because of the new Fannie Mae regulations limiting investment loans to lenders and the fact that it is a duplex.
