Todd save us a good amount on commercial, MF, auto, and our farm and ranch policies.

If you can live for free, then the money you would be spending on rent/mortgage can be saved and reinvested. 

Spent under $150 in interest to save around $400 in closing costs.

I started like many others, just with family members that were tired of the their retirement funds being so unpredictable in the stock market. 

I fully plan to enter the investment market once we're settled since I plan on retiring in the area.   

After two years, I've finally made it home and I've been working for 6 months, regaining credit and saving. 

Should I save or do a home equity loan?

There is no extra tax burden or saving from just selling the farm via LLC. 

They want to retire now by disposing off their properties.

@Nghi Le is right to consider transfer taxes (I am just talking about income tax in my post).Just make sure there isn't a "Due on Sale" clause in the contract before you do the transfer.There may be some solid tax strategies and significant savings around entity structures available if you plan to make this something you repeat.
