When the time comes to evict our first tenant, I will hire the best lawyer and let the expert take care of it.  

It’s one reason why many large developers, who can hire the best lawyers in the world, often work with local attorneys.

I would think that if the mortgage was recorded properly, it will simply be paid off.This is a question that you probably should have asked of the title company / lawyer before going under contract. 

If you are unfamiliar with the process, I would reach out to a lawyer to set you up correctly. 

@Cliff SongYou can usually speak to a lawyer who specializes in LLCs without any cost initially. 

My lawyer is hoping to argue that against them but it seems like the most likely route is settlement, which means I'm paying thousands of dollars for nothing.

Typically the suit amount is based on damages to the plaintiff, not the assets of the defendant.You can also note, typically no lawyer wants to wait for an LLC to liquidate to get paid. 

In a situation such as yours, the smartest move is to lawyer asap.
