A larger debt is a form of asset protection as it reduces the amount of equity you have and reduces the amount of potential loss.The reasons for having an LLC include, taxation, and asset protection, sometimes those are conflicting goals.And of course there is a cost to each LLC, not only in state & organization fees, but also tax return prep and yearly fees.

And it reduces the cash flow from the property.

Medical bills and student loans vs utilities and judgments from apartment complexes. 2) You see addresses.

If I were to purchase the property I'd challenge the tax assessment every year (or as often as the law allows) to reduce it over time.

Or, do a modification and reduce the interest.I ran the comps and only shows 3 houses, one pending for $119,900 and the other two sold.

Prior to 1 year they will only use the most recent purchase price, meaning you would still have to keep 20% in until 1 year.I have heard that some smaller banks will reduce this to 6 months, but I have not found one yet...

I would think that the person who bought it would see the value in staying put.I am reducing the value of the business because I want to sell it quickly, but I want to keep the building occupied and making money on the rents.How would I structure a deal that keeps them in the building?
