Check with a city planners and find out about school fees too.

Thank you city planners.

As a financial planner by trade when I decided to invest in real estate I had to make a decision on what career to pursue.

In addition, you may find some worthwhile contacts (architects, planners, attorneys, etc.).Best of luck!

My real estate agent, lawyer, and estate planner do not have a good enough response for this so I was thinking of reaching out to the forums because I am sure I cant be the only person who has experience with thisI have a handful of properties in Los Angeles, South Los Angeles, as well as Houston Texas / Missouri City Texas  that are all currently under my/mywifes name under titleWe are working on transferring these assets into an LLC for a few reasons, mainly to reduce liability and also restructure our ownership plan to hopefully scale up easier.   

Might be a good idea to talk to an expert financial planner that is not beholden to any particular asset or type of transaction.

I would be nervous about refinancing too because that is not really getting your money out -- it's taking on more debt.I think you need to contact someone who specializes in this -- a financial planner or an estate planner.

Definitely talk to a financial planner.

Maybe not now, but once you have enough gas in the tank so to speak, and can put that plan to work in real estate.Ultimately, the best thing for you to do would be to sit down with a good fee based financial planner (not one who earns commissions on what they sell, but who you pay for their guidance) and draw up a short/mid/long term strategy.  

The results will be legally drawn up agreements for your use.It is also wise to seek advice from a licensed professional tax and financial planner to make sure the agreement structure best fits your present status, strategy, and future plans - including building an estate.
