Many buyers won't bat an eye at needing to pay cash for keys as long as the numbers work.

There are lenders out there that will lend on small multifamily properties, that wont take into account your personal income as long as you have good credit and the cash to close.

As long as you buy in a good location, all but the worst mistakes will be corrected over time through rent increases and appreciation.

Your accountant will want to direct that so it is an exchange for interest in your capital account and not a deemed sale.But you could also sell as yourself and buy as a new LLC as long as the LLC is a disregarded entity. 

@Jose Alberto Serrato A 203k loan would be a great option as long as the property is deemed still liveable by their standards.

If so it is a disregarded entity and you could sell as that LLC and buy as yourself or LLC A or LLC B as long as LLC B is also a disregarded entity to you. 

You can do a 1031 exchange from investment property to a secondary home as long as you meet the 2 criteria: -You can only use the home for 2 weeks out of the year for personal use-You must collect income/ rent the home for 2 weeks out of the year for investment use.
