I own the land outright so my question is, could I put my land against my mortgage for the buildings and avoid putting another 20% into this or is that wishful thinking? 

I've started putting together a plan for me to "buy back" my 8 hours that I spend working for someone else via REI and am looking for guidance to help me figure this out and avoid common newbie pitfalls.

Chances are, they will avoid you because they are not planning to report this income.

@Scott Anderson That's the way to go to avoid taxable income. 

Double check your contract.If you want to avoid that situation, you may want to transfer your title to a Land Trust (use a special Warranty Deed) where you are still the initial beneficiary.

Judges see it the owner is using the LLC to avoid  creditors.

Yea that does make sense, but I am trying to avoid using my credit at all.

They probably want to structure the sale as a seller finance to avoid gains, and take the monthly check.

I would like to get an 80/20 loan to avoid paying mortgage insurance. 

But in those areas you need to wait out 3-5 of rent increases before you see some reliable cash flow.There are other cash flowing opportunities, but it's going to be hard to avoid the value traps from 2,000 miles away.
