Tax and accounting question

Tax and accounting question..

A number of years ago my wife and I purchased a house and placed it in our personal name and not an LLC. Since then we have opened an LLC or two :-). This particular property is still in our personal name and for accounting purposes the houses that were already in our personal name we left in our personal name and all new stuff we placed in an LLC. We have an asset based lender that is doing a refi on a couple of our properties and this is one of the ones there open to doing. The challenges they are saying we need to put it in an LLC. For accounting purposes we are resisting a bit. When we first started working with this particular lender they said that it would not be a problem if this property is in our personal name since it already was and now they're changing their tune. Has anyone come across this personally?
