If OP’s LLC satisfies the definition of “the insured” in the policy there is no need for an endorsement or a new policy. 50/50 individual owners to LLC where the individuals are 50/50, for no consideration other than the interest in the LLC ... this type of transfer meets that definition.

I disagree that the 1065 would be the more complicated route.Relying on each owner to report, accurately, their share of rental activity on Schedule E, plus issuing 1098s to the parties not named in the mortgage would be more complicated and more prone to error, especially if it's being undertaken in a DIY manner..I concede a 1065 would be more expensive than DIY tenants in common, however it frees up the owners to pursue higher value activities and provides them greater assurance everything is being done as accurately as possible.If we want to say error is being mitigated by a tax pro doing the returns of the owners in a TIC situation, sure we can say and all agree to that, but IMO the compliance fees for a pro in this situation for all individuals would be higher than that of just engaging a pro for one 1065.
