We have explored the option of purchasing directly into an LLC and, as expected, rates are horrible from these specialty lenders (8%+ w/ personal guarantees).

From my perspective $800 per year can buy one heck of an umbrella policy, and it is likely any loan made to the LLC would have to be personally guaranteed by you anyway. 

I'm receiving a decent guaranteed income locked in for the rest of my life.

In order for it to make sense you need a guarantee that the market would beat your mortgage rate of say 4%, which the market does not beat anyway.

Also you may not be able to raise rent for some time depending on location.A couple ways to approach this would be to calculate the lost revenue and ask for a reduction to offset or ask the seller to guarantee the income for a period if they will not reduce the price.
