@Ivan CastanonInventory, interest rate decreases, rent adjustment, market reports, and economic indicators are all important considerations when making a successful real estate investment.

Still probably won't pull the trigger---hurricanes can really kill your cash flow for very long periods...but will think about it.  

I’m having a bit of paralysis when it comes to actually pulling the trigger on any deals.

So I appreciate your perspective here as I make a decision..And the reason I wanted to transfer it to an LLC now instead of after the 1031 is complete is mainly precautionary, because I have approval from my lender now to complete the transfer, whereas I'm not sure if my future lender for the replacement property will allow it and decide to trigger the due on sale.

Does quit claim deed into an LLC trigger any title tax?

The problem if you quit claim the property from you to the LLC you may trigger the "due on sale" clause of the mortgage.

If you've educated yourself and the numbers make sense, pull the trigger before someone beats you to the deal.  

He will tell you, INTER ALIA, that you want inspection, financing, attorney review, title review, insurance, environmental, and survey review.Second, get a GOOD home inspector lined up.Third, get your banker lined up.THEN you can start looking.Also, keep in mind that backing out of a contract must relate to the contingency being used, and can only be triggered AFTER a good faith effort comply with/fulfill the contingency.

Would love any advice or any leads on attaining additional properties for short-term rental arbitrage.Thank you for your time and consideration.

My houses don't sell for less but there is considerably less drama in the transaction.
