That is without drywall repair, seems a little steep to me,any suggestions of a company you trust for a budget-friendly quote would be appreciated.

You should hire a third party person that is approved by the seller like your title company or an attorney or any individual you both can trust. 

This used to work always; now some courts have found it only works if the borrower did not provide a personal guarantee. this alone would be a good reason to only file deeds trusts and mortgages with the county, and not notes.   

You’d also need a Deed of Trust to make it a secured loan.That’s by no means an exhaustive list of everything you’d need, but here’s another post with a response that does have a good list and some excellent information from an experienced lender who’s also in California:https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/49/topics/413352-private-lender---forms-required

Decide which kind of investor you want to be (Single Family Residence (SFR), Commercial, Storage, Real Estate Investment Trusts (REIT), Land, Tax Liens, Passive, Hard Money Lender (HML), 1-4 Multi-Family, Notes, Fix & Flip, Buy & Hold, "Subject To" (Creative Financing), Large Apartments, Duplexes, Assisted Living, REOs, Foreclosures, Short Sales), etc.

The LLC will give you the loan personally.The "promissory note" tells the title company how to draft the "deed of trust".  

It appears that the person listed had a warranty deed performed to another person listed who then put out a deed of trust with a lender.thank you for your time any advise is welcome. 

I appreciate the feedback - you confirmed what I was thinking myself, guess I need to trust myself a bit more.I plan on getting with a lender as a formality, but I have confidence there. 800+ credit score and 6-figure income.

She had a trust, which this account was transferred to prior to her passing. 

Who do you trust?
