Life circumstances changed so we will be moving to and investing in a new area. 

I do not plan to sell this house within the next 5-10 years unless circumstances call for it so I am basically planning to buy and hold for the long run.I am hearing that all of this work could be well over $60K ($25K for garage, 20K+ for  3 high energy efficient HWH/Boiler combos, and $15K+ for roof)) which is causing me great concern.

There is no distinction between investment and home ownership in the law.

@Joel Owens - in a normal circumstance that might be the answer. 

Now you probably could get another loan to cover those but thats 2 loans now and probably a higher interest rate. i.e. hard money load which I advise against in this circumstance.

This is an interesting distinction.

You need to ask your local county tax office if a transfer fee/recording fee applies in your circumstances and, if so, how much you will have to pay.If your question is really asking whether there is an income tax consequence of transferring real property title between an individual and a corporate entify, or from a corporate entity to an individual, the answer is maybe.   

And nope a 1031 is not right in all circumstances. 

I'm confident it'd go for $1,650 under most circumstances, but I was not sure how much the school year starting would potentially delay renting it out.Even at $1,600, it'd still be above our initial projections and I'm anxious to get started on the next one once this ones finished up.
