I am currently reading a book that the author was doing his research that apartment buying and selling was the number 1 real estate investment in real estate. 

I’d be a hypocrite at that point and I have a higher authority to answer to . .. and Really Your not fooling anybody because it only takes a simple online search or call to the tax assets office to find out who actually owns the building even if it’s in a llc .

Although the author oddly enough has been married for 15+ years, so he's been out of the dating game too long.

The administrator has all the power, except that reserved by the court in your example, as they are appointed without what is called in my state "non-intervention powers".Typically in either case baring some other kind of limitation not referenced, the admin should have full authority to accept an offer before the auction, he would then just have to settle whatever contract he made with the auctioneer.I dealt with auctioneers that were both real estate agents and not, so the agreement we usually had was if we sell the property before the auction we had to use him as our sellers agent and he would take his REA commission, rather than the auctioneer commission. 

The property tax is administered by your local taxing authority, not the bank. 

I was wondering how should I go about checking the transfer fee for the title company to help me make the change from my personal name to the LLC.2. are there any stamp tax involved, or capital gain tax involved (unsure if the state recognise that as a "sale").3.

I'm just not a fan of tenants putting them in without me authorizing it!

If passed, do you think this could potentially encourage San Diego authorities to impose rent control regulations?

Or should my husband list himself as the registered agent with myself being the authorized manager or is there a better/safer way around that?

If nobody is paying the taxes eventually it will get foreclosed on by the taxing authorities and you can buy it at the tax sale.
