If you have no other debts and you have a comfortable cushion in your savings I would definitely pay extra to your mortgage because overtime it can save you a lot of money.

Example: 300,000 mortgage at 4.5% and 30 year term, paying just $200 extra per month reduces the number of monthly payments by 76, or 6.33 years, and reduces the interest and total paid by $59,436.41.

That is a huge savings for only $200 extra per month.

You cannot transfer a mortgage since the mortgage is owned by the bank. The bank is unlikely to remove the obligation from you to an LLC. You would need to pay off the existing mortgage, transfer the property to the LLC, and then refinance under the LLC . . . if the bank will allow the transfer of title and new mortgage.
