If you are going to hang tight I would leave more in.

However, if you have conveyed the information to them via some type of written from.. that is a good option to leave it to them on what their choice is and move.

It’s not really enough for me to be comfortable leaving my full time job so I’d like to learn how to use the equity tied up in these properties to scale up & get to where I want to be asap. 

If they have mattresses on the floor, never hang up their clothes, and leave beer cans all over the place, that's their issue.

So I would think the new investment would need to shoot for 8%+ return to be a better move than just leaving your capital in the current property.

That is reality because the receiver of the info has no skin in the game, nothing to  hold them to the "advice".

Always met with answer machine "please leave a message......"

For Canadians seeking to tap into the market in the States, the way the LLC is arranged creates a challenging tax environment and basically leaves you limited return. 

Some investors received a note this week saying he filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.He also has a new eviction on his record after refusing to leave a property he was renting.Even after multiple formal complaints to the RE board about his fraudulent activity, he somehow still has his license and active home listings.Posting this update so hopefully anyone looking to work with him, now or in the future, can see the type of person he is.

Changes some of my answer below, but here would be most of the types of transactions you would have in these accounts and between them.Property transactions would be: all property specific rents and expenses, allocated expense transfer to the master LLC and transfers to master LLC bank account for profit AND/OR property management fee.Master LLC transactions would be: Shared expenses going out, reimbursements/transfers from properties for their allocated share of those expenses coming in, the transfers from your properties deemed as profit AND/OR property management fee and then transfers to your personal accounts deemed as owner distributions.Other transfers that could occur is if the master LLC needs to transfer to the properties for capital expenditures above and beyond the reserves you might leave in their accounts.
