HI Dara,If you own more than 50% of the LLC and can prove that you own it via operating agreement IE you’re the manager or member for 51%+ you can use conventional financing to close on this refinance out of your LLC (you will need to quit claim deed it back to your personal name and update the preliminary title report prior to closing conventional).Fannie doesn’t care about seasoning and timing however if you opt to use Freddie Mac there is a 51%+ ownership of the LLC required and or 12 months payments or occupancy required so freddie is way tougher for their continuity of obligation (COO) requirements.
