Should we transfer the property into the LLC and then open the account/HELOC?

The big reason that it doesn't make sense is because there are other houses out there with better returns where the buyer wouldn't have to deal with getting internet, utilities, etc all transferred over just to turn-around have to do a make-ready and re-lease it in under 3 months. 

There is a moving clause where they would remove the system for free or transfer to the new owner.

These laws are unconstitutional forced transfers of ownership rights from landlords to tenants. 

Either agreement will need to clearly spell out the rights and obligations of the partners/members, and include terms for transfers of interests, dissolution, and selling the property, among other terms. 

Will I be able to transfer the property into an LLC with an open HELOC?

So, I am looking for a closing attorney with experience in constructing Owner Financing/Lease Options/"Subject To" deals and LLC Membership Assignments/Transfer.

If you do, the judge can undo that action citing that you were attempting to hide assets from a legitimate creditor, which falls under fraudulent transfer of assets.So, don't know if your married or if your state has the same rules, but that was something cool I learned recently from my Estate Planning attorney.Bottom line: I'd ask a Pro to be sure.

My current and past investments have been in “paper” – stocks, bonds, 401K, and also physical gold and crypto-currency.

The market for single family may not crash in the intermediate term, but the assets and wealth will be transferred from mom and pops to corporations and single family syndicators.
