And so there were many reasons that I never felt personally comfortable with pulling the trigger on them.At the same time, you want to know how the investment is actually doing.

Option 1:Pros:Simplicity: You avoid the potential complications of alerting the lender.Maintains Low-Interest Rate: Since your loan is at 3%, you continue benefiting from this favorable rate.Avoids Immediate Full Payment: You won’t be forced to come up with $45k immediately.Cons:Risk of Detection: If the lender identifies the payments coming from an LLC, they might call the loan due.Potential Consequences: If the lender enforces the due on sale clause, you might be forced to pay the remaining loan balance quickly.Option 2:Pros:Transparency: Being upfront might build trust with the lender.Possible Flexibility: Given your solid payment history, the lender might agree to the arrangement.Legal Compliance: You avoid any potential issues with violating the terms of your mortgage agreement.Cons:Risk of Loan Acceleration: The lender could still decide to call the loan due, forcing you to pay the remaining balance.Potential for Higher Payments: If forced to refinance, you might end up with a higher interest rate.Given the pros and cons of each option, but a cautious approach might be best:Consult a Real Estate Attorney: This can give you a clear understanding of your legal standing and potential risks.Evaluate the Importance of the 3% Rate: Weigh the benefits of keeping your low-interest rate against the risks of potentially having to pay off the loan early.Consider a Gradual Transition: This method allows you to continue benefiting from the low-interest rate while reducing the risk of triggering the due on sale clause.

She is in a big beautiful house on Parkside Drive with a wing that can basically be separated off by a locked door, but her wing doesn't have a kitchen.

Everything Ken said plus plaster walls, no insulation, higher electric bills, walls sweating when its humid in florida and the resident leaves front door open, damp smelly houses, Pealing paint, wood rot, old windows, crawl space under the home, bdrm and closet doors that don't close properly, electric locks that the old front door doesn't like as the door is not aligned correctly, Cyrstal knobs that fall off, old thermostats with 2 lines but my new thermostat needs 3 lines, critters in the fireplace....

Quote from @Trevor Powers: Network, read/listen to books, and don't be too hesitant on pulling the trigger on something you believe is a good deal.

In Pennsylvania, transferring property between LLCs triggers realty transfer taxes.

@Alex Ko The ADU construction capital getting locked in the property at this time doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't work.

I'm a licensed Realtor who represented myself in this transaction and I negotiated a $15k seller concession I used for a 1-0 buy down so my rate for 1 year will be 5.99% and then revert to 6.99% for 30yrs. and then we used the rest of the concessions for closing costs. in 6 months or 12 months I will revisit to see if mortgage interest rates dropped significantly to justify a refinance to lock in a lower interest rateone more question.
