If you qualify anyway, you would probably be better off just getting conventional loan in your own name.Another concern is that co-borrowing with an LLC could be the equivalent of co-mingling funds, so you run the risk of making the LLC useless anyway. 

Funding is not my issue, the amount of deals I want are. 

Each one of them have a flashy websiteOne can invest in the Public REITS, but will not get much diversification from the stocks & bonds & presently have low yields.I understand the step up in basis for the heirs after we pass away, but at some time in the future(in old age) if we decide to not do 1031 Exchange anymore, I suppose we will have to pay the Cap Gain Taxes, only it will be a much larger sum as all the carried over proceeds will be taxed. 

This is why I set my CoC Return at 10%, because I want to know I'm at or above the returns I could get by just throwing my money in an index fund and not having to worry about it.

While this allowed me to self-fund my education, it didn't provide me with the passive income stream necessary to exit the 'rat race' which is why I'm here today. 

I know stock options is a method of funding growth, but I don't claim to be a finance major, so my understanding of it is only on a surface level.  

So this bring me to funding and loans, entire deal going to be right around 300k.

Aside from having to put 10-20% down to secure the loan, what can I expect to encounter when dealing with hard money lenders in terms of interest rates, points, getting the funds from them to pay contractors/buy supplies, etc.

They literally can't wait for a traditional funding mechanism if their contract gives them 30 days and it takes 45 days (not uncommon) to get through a loan process.
