Pay off properties or finance more?

[Stuart Dean]

I am a new investor-over the course of the past year I have purchased two duplexes with conventional investor loans on my personal credit profile.

I have built up enough money to put 25% down on a third, but am wondering if I should be focusing on paying down my existing properties first so I can move them into an LLC? (I am under the assumption for tax reasons having them in an LLC is much more preferable.) Appreciate any advice.
