All valid points. That said, we always buy investment properties in an entity, because asset protection trumps everything else for us. Good luck.

It might be time for you to call your lawyer, who can probably sort out the options and risks for you in short order. Good luck.

You will need to do a lien search. If you are not equipped to do that yourself, call your lawyer or your title company. Good luck.

We used a HELOC to pay off our original first mortgage. The fact that we can write checks on the HELOC account makes it very useful. Good luck.

It is only worth all of the headache if the price is well below market. What you do with it after closing is up to you. Good luck.
Talk to your lawyer about the specifics of your operating agreement, but this sort of sale is very common (assuming you can find a buyer who will pay to step into your shoes). Good luck.
