Great to connect with another investor here in Spain making their real estate dreams come true.

I am having a hard time believing how anyone can say a condo is “worth 150k” and then ask if faking a couple sales to create the illusion that the true market price is 275k is unethical....not obvious?

True in MO as well pretty sure. 

I've also used credit card checks to bridge my cash gap. 

True, I never tell other investors in my area about the certain projects that I am privy to or have researched.

@Curt Davis, so true dude.

A property is not like a credit card where you can just abandon and the collectors will eventually stop contacting you. 

Consistency in everything is the absolute key in this business.What @Jeff Zimmerman said about the poor quality of a lot of flipped houses is unfortunately very true.

If the LLC will be directly investing in something more likely to create a lot of transactions, then a true bank/credit union checking account will be better. 

This is especially true if you want tax write off.
