Quote from @Jokari Trueheart: HI, almost 11 months ago I purchased 3 duplexes and I borrowed the funds from my personal residence which I took out a equity agreement for the down payment on the investment property, great idea at the time because I have 10 years to pay it off and theres no payment requirement, but , I learned more about the consequence that it takes a large chunk of my equity the longer I take to pay it back, so my goal was to refi cash out the investment property to pay it back but I don't think theres enough equity yet to pull the full $106k needed, I only borrowed $88k but with the equity percentage for one year i'm paying about $18k in equity on top of the amount I borrowed if I pay it off in year one, so I need this paid off ASAP before it increases more.

While an LLC can offer liability protection and tax benefits, it’s not essential for a single property—personal liability insurance and an umbrella policy may suffice for now.

It’s an item in our roadmap, but maybe I just need to prioritize it to the top of the list in 1H 2024.Bottom line is that I allowed us to stop supporting it several years ago, in a decision I wish I could have back. honestly, I used to use the app personally as well.
