Here are the details.Duplex Im selling is owned in entity "A LLC" which is a 2 member LLC and I'm a 50% member, other member is my dad.Ive been approved for a construction loan based on the financials of entity "A LLC" - however I could also get the construction loan in my name only, or another single member LLC that I am sole member of or Entity "B LLC" which I'm a 50% member of or when I close it down can transfer ownership to me solely.The land is owned free and clear - land is owned under entity "A LLC" and is also owned half by John Smith (friend of mine...John Smith who coincidentally wants out)How do I do this...I've been reading up on related entity exchanges but as I type this out am wondering if I couldnt complete this since the lot is owned by entity "A LLC" which is also selling the existing duplex.Disclaimer for any that answer - I understand you are giving advice and I am to complete my own due diligence and consult my own professionals.Thanks!!!!
