Transferring the domain, website, and social media accounts was kind of a pain in the butt, but once it was done there is not much time or effort needed on my part to operate the website.

For those that chose to buy a home at a duty station they then have to decide to sell when they are transferred or hold on to the property.

You are thinking from an INVESTOR standpoint buying multiple properties a year or every other year based on NUMBERS.HOME BUYERS unless get job transferred sell or buy a house maybe every 5 to 10 years.

@Scott Smith could I have a Texas series LLC take ownership of a Florida LLC  that has Florida property in it and provide the same protection or would have to have the property transferred in a Texas series LLC ?

If you transfer post-close, you may violate the "due on sale clause in the mortgage docs," allowing the lender to call your loan due.

It was a dream purchase for me and my wife, but after joining Bigger Pockets and all the great folks on here helped my move into the STR game.We ended up with a standard 2nd home mortgage that was almost immediately transferred so we just started listing it on VRBO and AirBNB.

Your comment on distribution and contribution makes sense though That term is usually used for when the loan/mortgage is under your personal name and then you transferred the deed to the LLC.But if you meant just commingling funds, that's usually a no-no but you must make it clear in allocating those funds between contribution and distribution so that you have a paper-trail of what happened to that money and this way it won't be labeled as commingling

Sell, transfer, or exchange real property.

The way I heard it explained is that you take over the existing mortgage and then you can either rent it or transfer the mortgage to someone for free but the videos I’ve watched never say anything about giving the seller anything other than money down to lock it up.

I'd make sure you've confirmed deposits have been transferred to the new PM along with any rent they've collected or your own deposits they may have (my PM keeps $500 of my money to cover any repairs that may come in).
