Hi all, I’ve search the forums looking for information on obtaining financing with an exterior only appraisal. Is this even an option? Property is currently occupied and listed on auction site.  I’d appreciate any sug...

I own a 6-unit apartment building in Illinois, I paid cash so I own it outright.

If this is your only property, there'd be no other rental income to cover these costs, so it would have to be paid out of pocket for the owner. 

Other than driving for dollars are there any more ways to find vacant or code violation homes online?

Last I saw, fha max for seller paid closing costs was 6%.  

I was using smart move online form which gets the background on criminal, credit and income information from the tenant.

Account ClosedIf a member/partner will be paid for some services outside of his right to earn a 33% profit/loss percentage in the LLC's income - he can be compensated via guaranteed payment.You will not be required to issue him a 1099.

Now I have $900 cashflow per month to pay off the HELOC plus some personal funds to get it paid off in 2 years.My ultimate goal..I might have listened to Dave Ramsey too much when I was young, but my goal is to pay off each property before moving onto the next one.

And part of my strategy is to have as many of my rentals paid off as possible in the next 15-18 years.

Mine was used for working capital, so it was drawn down, paid back in a few months, over and over.
