I am debating on what to do with a rental property of mine.

This is clearly a touchy subject no matter what side of the debate you are on :)

I ask your reply, not because I'm trying to prove myself "right"....I have this debate with my wife....who wants the rental mortgages paid off someday.

I am currently debating getting my South Carolina real estate license.

I appreciate all the advice, tax wisdom, people debating options, some stating I was cheating the system, I looked at all the feedback around gap years, etc.  

When you see/read people debate "B v C neighborhoods," they're discussing where in this middle ground to turn that dial, a tick this way or a tick that way. - The other extreme has the dial turned all the way to max appreciation, negative cashflow.

You would need to compare your area to all of Metro Detroit.Again, it is impossible to have intelligent conversations or debates when you refuse to use logical benchmarks. 347 homes listed for rent in Twin Cities, huh?

prepare for an age old debate on this forum.you can't get good residential mortgages for an LLC my opinion is to move the home into your personal residence and get the good financing, the liability is negligible. if you insist on keeping it in the LLC name, you'll have move it to your personal name, get the good mortgage, then quit claim it back to your LLC.
