Legally, they may have the right to exercise the ""due on sale" clause, but I would review your mortgage, possible consult an attorney and/or your servicer to understand if they ever enforce this.Stepping back, putting title in an LLC may not provide as much protection as you think.  

Do you value what they think? 

Yes i think I may go the route of ordering a new appraisal.

Which I think is why MOST properties don't sell for that close to the market value.its not that much different from a stock option right?

Now do I think they are going away?

I do a lot of repairs and maintenance myself when I come down in the winter and during the quarters I make the trip, but here's just a sample of things I had to pay for in the last year:Pool screening: $985 (big hailstorm destroyed 13 screens)Irrigation repair: $394Irrigation repair #2: $230Palm trimming (twice: $200Pool light replacement: $950And all of that of course leaves out routine replacement of towels that get left at theme parks, sheets and pillowcases, busted blenders, and a host of other things I can't even think of right now. 

I’m thinking it may be a great idea to start a group of several higher level investors (50 units and up) to create benchmarks, KPI’s, and outside opinions of portfolio.

Think first who will give up this great benefit?

Far too many get stuck in the "paralysis by analysis" stage, thinking they just don't know enough to get started.
