There were other things we wanted to accomplish while prepping his current primary as well: refi one of our other rentals, build a nest egg to prep for the purchase of the new place and his moving expenses, and pay down some debt. 

Once that debt is paid off, I'll start moving the money I'd use for payments as well as excess grants into a savings account to build and hold onto a small nest egg.

Here mud daubers love to nest. 

Termites live underground and in trees (nests). 

My long-term goal is to build up a large enough nest egg that I 100% passively invest in deals.

You could do different levels of packages that can include anything from a Google home/Alexa, Nest thermostat, wifi security camera doorbell, smart padlock, smart outlets and lightbulbs, etc.

While transferring the property into the LLC can trigger the Due on Sale Clause, transferring properties into a Land Trust does not trigger the same red flags from a bank. from there you can nest the Land Trust into an LLC, still granting you the liability protection of the LLC.
