Funding additional deals

[Mitch Hill]

In the market for properties 2 and 3. We own our personal home free and clear. We have a duplex also free and clear that is currently renting for $2k per month. Taxes and insurance are about $5k. The duplex was recently transferred to an LLC that my wife and I set up. We are retired and have not started taking social security or IRA distributions. Overall our personal expenses are pretty low.

The goal is to cash out about $250k from the duplex and use that to fund a couple more deals. 

The fact the duplex is in an LLC seems to gum up the works a little on the cash out loan. Should we have cashed out prior to moving to the LLC? I know some lenders don't like to work with LLCs.

I am open to deeding the title back to my wife and myself, do the cash out loan and then move it back to the LLC.

Is there another alternative?
