Lessons I've learned it to not be afraid and take risk even when its unfamiliar , the best the are hidden behind fear. also to vaule not only my time but others .

Now I just have to walk through the fear of my first deal and make this happen...

When tenants start threatening behavior, it's usually from a place of fear.

I've also watched nearly every US  DXC employee get laid off and fear I will eventually be part of the culling, despite my stellar reputation.   

My fear would be reselling it and having the same problem as you mentioned as well.

You may be correct in your assessment of the two options, but with the info limited to the short term impact only, my fear would be you are only seeing the short term impact.

I prefer having things in my LLC and no fear of any "Due on Sale" drama, even if unlikely.

NJ has a serious "anti-eviction" statute that requires leases be renewed, but its been like that for decades with no draconian incremental changes like you would fear.

And I get compensated as a Realtor on the buy and coming future sale, as well as, for the lender referral - so its in my best interest all around to funnel great deals to my clients.So I would just respectfully suggest that you not close any doors through which opportunity may someday attempt to walk for fear that the Realtor kept a better deal for themselves if the deal they are seeking to bring you is a good one.

I've heard of people getting cold feet, but using the age of appliances as an excuse to mask fear?...
