Today’s first caller is looking into getting a HELOC on his rental property. In order to approve the line of credit, the bank wants him to transfer the title out of his LLC and into his own name. Is this a good idea? That’s the first question I’m answering on today’s show!
This Q&A Monday episode features three great listener questions on transferring titles, the best way to raise capital, and how to go about getting insurance policies on your rental properties. As always, I appreciate your questions and I hope you enjoy this episode of Investing in Real Estate!
On this episode you’ll learn:
- What you should know about transferring a title.
- How to raise capital for investing.
- The best way to set up insurance on your rental properties.
What You Should Know About Transferring a Title
If you’re planning on leveraging your rental properties, you can almost bet on running into this issue. Most banks want you to be personally liable for your loan, so they’ll ask you to sign the paperwork with the property in your own name. I’m not a lawyer, but Garrett Sutton from Corporate Direct writes in the Loopholes of Real Estate that there’s rarely a problem with transferring your title with a quit claim deed. For specific legal advice, I’d recommend reaching out to Corporate Direct here.
How to Raise Capital for Investing
There is capital out there, it just depends which avenue you want to take! My friends at Fund&Grow offer business credit cards with introductory interest rates at 0%. This is a great strategy for someone who wants to buy an asset upfront and then refinance later. You can save $500 off your signup fee by using my link, morrisinvest.com/funding.
Private money is also a great way to go. You can search for private lenders on LinkedIn or network locally by attending a REIA meeting through meetup.com.
The Best Way to Set Up Insurance On Your Rental Properties
In most cases, bundling your insurance is going to be the best option for saving money. That has been my experience, and it seems that most insurance companies will offer you a discount for doing so. My favorite insurance company is NREIG.
