I believe your loan could get called if you transfer ownership to an LLC without consent of the lender, especially a brand new LLC that does not have two years of tax returns.

I'll focus on maintaining the property and optimizing rent increases to ensure consistent returns over the years.

$7,500 invested in the market at 8% return over 3 years is close to $9,500 in total. 

Overall it is still a very good city to invest with solid returns.

Many of which are savvy BP type clients who are doing updates/raising rents and then the buildings do cashflow positive even with lower down payments which produce amazing returns (at 3.5-5% down you get close to a 50%+ return a year just off mortgage paydown). 

@Lisa AlbrightOne thing to consider is your return on equity (ROE).

At this point, instead of continuing to pay the interest loan payments on properties that we will never be able to financially finish since the rehab loans will not cover the actual cost of the rehab, I wanted to know the ramifications of returning the properties to the loan servicer, deed in lieu.

You can certainly find a property for cash flow that may also bring you a strong return on that investment.
