@Timothy McKinneyIf your partner is self-employed, he should consider opening a self-directed solo 401k, then transferring his former employer 401k to it and then processing a solo 401k participant loan.

Just balance transfer the newly acquired credit lines into your checking account but I didn't say that...

They are turn-key, already contain renters paying a decent amount for rent, they have security deposits that would transfer to me, the "Zestimate" (however reliable that is) is far higher than asking, the Tampa, FL real estate market has projected growth over the next few years, the units look like they're in really good shape, and both units are at the same address.

I hear that it's a big hassle to to have the TRA checks transferred to the my company as the new owner when we close.

I would only add, and I'm sure it goes without saying, that if she asks you to wire or transfer any earnest money directly to her without actually physically meeting *in* the property, it may be a scam.

Typically:75% LTV 4.75-5.25% on $250k+ investment--25, 30 year amortization 5.25% interest on $100k-$250k --20, 25 year amortization 5.75-6.25% interest on $30-$100k --10, 15, 20 year amortization Fees: typical for closing costs, transfer fees, documents fees of a residential loan...

Another reason is if you sell the property to another investor, it is easier to sell them the LLC that owns the property than transferring the property.  

I think it will ease his mind to find a realty lawyer who can transfer them into an LLC or Trust.But you guys are right the best way is to be honest and to let them know they are part of our portfolio.
