. :) Looks like we need to go over financials sooner than later so that my research on seller financing and loans wont go in vain. 

And we're looking to hit $1 billion within another 10 years time (hopefully much sooner!).

@Stephen Spradley I'll just add a couple things that I hope are helpful:Talk to a lender sooner rather than later.

In any case the sooner you convert to a rental the better as then you will start avoiding and deferring taxes, and freeing up more money to invest.

I'm only thinking of your flexibility here, to hold out for the right tenant next time, or your need to shove a loud gym next to them if offered... which won't make the insurance company too happy. 

That means you will probably get your money back at the average cap rate and not sooner.

She wants to get the money sooner and be done with it.

Once heard a lawyer say this: (paraphrasing) “If you are gonna hand out your business cards in this business, make sure to have your LLC name listed along with your own name.”Now, you don’t need an LLC, but depending on what type of business you intend to be doing, you may want an LLC - there is a difference between doing business with you, and doing business with your LLC if something goes down; the sooner you set the record straight that someone is dealing with your LLC - and keep it the same during that relationship - the better.

Hopefully much sooner.

Hopefully much sooner.
