You would need to get funded in your name, then transfer the deed to the LLC for all the tax & liability benifits.

As an investor, we would use these funds to purchase properties with you or your company listed as the lien holder.

Warren Buffet would say you want an investment portfolio that's a mix of cash, stocks, real estate, and bonds.

After some investigation and talking with my lendor, I found out that it would be very difficult to get funding on a brand new LLC and the increased interest rates was not worth it.

Then subtract mortgage payment, property taxes, insurance, repair fund, and vacancy loss.

Of course, that additional funding would usually be reimbursed to the buyer at the closing of his unit when he takes possession.

If you know of anyone looking to fund deals for a nice return I would appreciate a heads up.

Like I said I don't analyze well or even have the knowledge to look at some of those aspects you named but I try to buy homes I'd live in, in neighborhoods I think will appreciate, that add a few $$ to the emergency fund each month.

We have several credit cards which could be used for some rehab funding, but that would only be ideal with a flip so we could pay them off with the profits quickly- not a rental situation.If we were to get a home for $140K, what would be your approach.
