You kind of have to separate out the asset protection aspect from the banking aspect when you think about it.

Please be gentle; I'm new at this and it's pretty complex :)Structure / Legal Details- we'd establish market value through a combination of comps from local real estate agent and an appraisal- attorney would establish all required "arms length" aspects including a mortgage at a minimum standard federal rate- LLC would pay us back based on a standard promissory note over 30 yrs Pros of selling to the LLC (I think)- A sale now would be the only time we'd be able to take advantage of the cap gains exclusion on this house bc we won't qualify for the "live there 3 of 5 years" rule due to the timing of our lease and our last time of residence.

That seems more than just a RE investment: To me, the casino aspect of the investment would require specialized expertise (knowledge and individuals in place to make sure the business is a success) that seems to be a greater risk than the RE side of the deal.
