Crossing the lines may not provide proper liability protection.Personally, I just kept my SF rentals in my name and got excellent insurance coverage, $500K per property plus a $2M umbrella.

Bank pushed us to 40% down payment so also executed a $85K seller carry-back loan to cross the finish line.

@Cameron Moore I knew I could count on you for a legit answer.

@Jay Hinrichs thanks, it's very helpful to understand the ways this may play out. the bottom line is that, at this point, i can't count on either owning the property outright or getting my funds back until 30 days AFTER the judge approves the sale.  

@Dan ShuderRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Start by talking to a cross-border CPA and attorney to handle taxes and legal structures properly.

Appraisals are backed up and on the right timeline of investor deals, every day counts when you need toBeef up the appraised ARV to get a healthier LTV.Hope this helps!

So this would not count towards your DTI on your new home.- Move.

Research each location’s “sweet spot” in terms of bedroom count, amenities, and guest demand.3.

The problem is at $250K what are you getting each side sqft, bed/bath count etc.
