Did you have a real estate lawyer?

As for what I can bring to the table, I'm an environmental lawyer, so while the rules of ethics (yes, we have them!)

From what I have read, banks would not loan to new LLC's without proof of income.Furthermore, I have inquired for a lawyer's assistance with LLC formation and he quoted me $2000 to $2,500 for professional fees.  

Although I'm a lawyer, I'm not your lawyer, so you should seek separate legal advice if you feel you need it.The bottom line is that they are already in business together and should probably stay that way.If they were to split things up, they would have to transfer the property out of the LLC into their own names and that would cause problems and cost a lot of money.Even if they successfully split it up, neither one of them could refinance and it would be difficult to sell the property without the other one agreeing.They should either keep it in the LLC and live with it, or sell it and split the money and go their separate ways.What they are proposing would make things more complicated, not less.

I put 4700 down and after closing costs and lawyer fees I was into the deal for $8900.
