I recently read on the forum that if you purchase a property for cash through an LLC by lending yourself the money (draw up a mortgage note and file it) that you can REFI out of it with no seasoning and recover your cash. I wanted to verify that this is indeed the case and connect with someone who has actually completed the process. I have an equity line I would like to use to make the purchase and pay the equity line back immediately.

Thanks in advance for any help.

@Andrew Postell has a great post about this. I think it will help you out. https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/48/topics/460...

@Andrew Postell  @Jason Sullivan  Thanks Jason, I saw that post. I was looking for someone who has actually used this method. Have you used it? 

@Dave DeMarco while your scenario does happen often it is more rare than just the buying and refinancing of investment properties.  I've had a handful of people in my personal network you use this so I can talk you through what happened what to look for etc. if you would like.  Thanks!

Thanks Andrew, I'll call later this week.

Update

LLC is in place and closing on a rental property in Tennessee on 12/27/2017. I've had the title company prep the note for the loan from my LLC to me, and the deed will be filed at close showing the loan. I have a lender that I have just submitted documents to for the REFI.

Truth be told - I'm nervous. 

Does anyone have a referral to a bank that they have closed with using this method? I would like to have a backup in place.   

Here is the link to what I'm trying to accomplish
