Anthony Prilo How to refinance property out of residential loan into LLC
20 June 2025 | 9 replies
Generally, for the optimal refinance, these are top of mind for BRRRR strategy investors:Return of capital: The key “secret sauce” of the BRRRR method is to build portfolios using the same capital over and over—which relies on getting your basis (or more) back on the refinance, where basis refers to the money you invested in the property (down payment and cash used for renovations).Speed: Refinance lenders use the term “seasoning” to refer to the amount of time (typically in months) between the purchase of the property and the refinance.

With enough knowledge you can make a educated decision on which approach you take.My experience:I personally don't sign up for any program who take you aside during events and try to sell packages that is just blatant sales strategy.Once you sign up there is every attempt to make you sign for their programs for bookkeeping, registered agent, LLC or corp setup fee which have ridiculous even with platinum membership.Basic standard structure they suggest to take advantage of multiple deductions can be easily achieved by proper education or work with a good firm like https://wcginc.com  who is local to you.A umbrella C-crop to manage all other LLC properties and take advantage of many tax deductions that are not available with a llc, its also used to take losses up to 100K as startup expenses and dissolve the entity after few years.Few LLC entities for investing in Real Estate, etc preferably in Wyoming or Nevada ( you can find many companies online who can do this for $150 compared to anderson $1500-$3000) , they will claim they have a secret Operating agreement which is bogus.They certainly try to take advantage of tax loopholes and claim to be smart people, my view they are just taking advantage of numbers as per their own statements.
