Readers should seek professional advice.

I appreciate any advice or suggestions you can share.

It's important to have the advice and perspective of an industry old-timer, in my opinion.The sponsor and specific deal she highly recommended to me back in 2017 should have never passed any due diligence check both from a sponsor point of view and deal point of view.

Liability Protection: Transferring to an LLC provides asset protection but may not always be worth the hassle or cost.Next Steps: Review your loan agreements, consult your lender, and get advice from a real estate attorney and tax pro to ensure everything’s compliant and beneficial.

Sounds like you are in a tight spot.

Quote from @Max Emory: @Mary Jay, the $800-$1k sounds like phantom cash flow or spreadsheet cash flow that gets eaten up by repairs/maintenance, turnover, vacancy, CapEx, etc.I've owned rentals (with leverage) since 2019 and our REI bookkeeping firm has serve tons of landlords.

Wow so many great replies and advice.

Other advice, especially that pertaining to tax benefits, is also highly appreciated!
