Involving an extra step like that will likely incur extra cost in closing, title and lender fees

Titles says it all.

Hello everyone, As the title says, we are 3 weeks away from closing and we are in a big dilemma.

The bank stopped just short of requiring a colonoscopy and hired an incompetent attorney to draft the loan docs requiring unnecessary back and forth with the title company prior to funding the loan. 

We are considering transferring the title of our new rental into an LLC partnership.

(Wyoming and Nevada, are popular for this)This still doesn't solve your "privacy issue" though, that would generally be done by holding title in a real estate privacy trust.

Check title records to see if they actually own those properties or have a lease for arbitraging.Use the California Secretary of State's business lookup feature to see if they are in good standing. 

You will have access to millions of properties, criteria filters, list building, list tagging, skip tracing , direct mailing, and emailing, and the list goes on and on.

Looking forward to connect and understand your experiences around 1) Title researching2) Resources for title search from public records3) Clean title 4) Post auction process i.e., payment, deed, quiet title etc

His title is listed as manager.3) Did you wire funds directly into the operator's bank account or the co-GP/fund of funds bank account?
