-Should I put the property under an LLC (pay higher mortgage rate, but better protection against lawsuits) or keep under my name?

Shoot me a DM if you want to connect and I'd be happy to put you in contact with them.

CR had put significant $$ into renovations so these row houses were really like all new - roof, appliances, gutted throughout etc. it was understood that many of the rentals would be Section 8 which is a good secure investment.

I put too much into renovations because of the classic found a bad contractor story, so had to get another contractor out, and after 9 months holding cost and about $60K in repairs, $3K in appliances, I got the place rented. ( I also refinanced and was able to get about 133K out, which I paid off my HELOC and credit cards I used to pay for all the renovations and PP). 

You're putting in 80k all in, and selling potentially for 115k after 4 months - I think you could find an area with better margin in my opinion. 

Things happen but often cash strapped flippers cut corners and :"put lipstick on a pig" to get out from under a mistake. 

Brokers are calling you back, and they are starting to put deals on Loopnet.

Then, they do a bunch of internal hokie pokie stuff inside the bank and put the property on the MLS and hope for the best.

I can also put it on my phone. we had a IRS agent that just wanted to take us to the wood shed.. she disallowed more than that.

You could easily put his name on title in any one of those situations.
