Before you jump through the hoops and incur the transactional fees of transferring this duplex titled to yourself and wife to an LLC can you articulate the liability exposure risks you believe could impact your personal assets?

You could consider it disposable but I am guess the costs to get it safe for habitation will really impact your decision.Regarding the house on stilts, if it is properly engineered it would be considered real property with a unique foundation.

Cons - directing tri plex cash flow away from other investments for 4 years but also not impacting my W2 lifestyle.

Partial disposition might make a bigger impact.

any benefits to this quantum thing over and above the other assets as far as growth or economic impact?
