Transferring properties from individual name to LLC...

[Jimmy Jefferson]

Hi all,

I've got a handful of properties (9 doors total) in my personal name. I recently created an LLC and am wondering the following:

- Is there any way to avoid the transfer tax (1% seller + 1% buyer = 2% total) if I would transfer the titles from me to my LLC?

- Will the bank call the loan due upon transfer?

- Can I start to use a LLC credit card for easier organization of rental expenses, prior to transferring properties' titles to my LLC?

- Can I accept rental payments for properties that are in my personal name into my LLC specified bank account?

Any information is appreciated.

Thanks in advance!
