I'm keeping the rental income liquid as emergency money until I get to a certain level, then I'll transfer it to investments - and I have some easily accessible cash to manage any big issues that come up with the property.My question is - I plan to buy two more similar duplexes next year and repeat the same process.

I find it to be a logical transfer of skills and knowledge, have you found that to be the case or has it been an equally challenging approach to investing?

I'm meeting with the PM company tomorrow to transfer the paperwork etc.

I was wondering if security deposits will be transferred direct to our designated account through escrow, do you know?

Transfer it to a SDIRA?

I have proof they did not, both bills and a letter from the utility stating they never transferred service.

And if you did that, wouldn't it make public record that you have been transferred equitable interest.

Tonys idea of an addendum repair cost in the lease is a good idea in Texas, unfortunately it is invalid in Oregon and likely also in California as landlords cant transfer repair cost of appliances that come with the unit to the tenant. 

Assignor would be whoever is transferring the property (doing paperwork and getting home from original seller, seller of the wholesale deal), assignee would be whoever is taking to property (going to be closing on it to rehab, rent out, live in, etc..., buyer of the wholesale deal). 

You also need some business cards that have a couple things for you to write in manually like your phone number but not your cell phone number.Another thing you should consider, depending on your financial worthm, is to form some sort of corporation or a LLC,  Expect that most banks are against doing a loan that not in your name, even a transfer.
