@Becky HoffmanI would not change the name of the LLC but do a dba so you do business as one name but legally your LLC name does not change

If it's owner occupied, you're fine to close it however you want.Not legal advice: https://hoplerwilms.com/blog/2023/11/20/what-is-the-garn-st-...

.* In my world (Bank) a "Foreclosure" is a property/loan that has a filed notice (Often referred to as first legal) that a foreclosure has commenced and is somewhere in the foreclosure process between first legal and sale (or post sale redemption).

A quick google search turned up this: https://windowwellexperts.com/...You can install a legal egress window for $3,000 - $5,000.

My guess is You will need to go through a foreclosure process in this situation as a legal remedy.

Do not rely on it for legal advice.

Once you have the property converted to two legal units, it's going to depend on business vs. personal useage. 

My point is cash has no exclusivity on being legally clean and far from it.
