Adding your first property to an existing LLC is simpler than forming a new LLC and transferring ownership later.

Carryover basis for gifting is one major consideration, but you may also wish to consider what transferring the value of the property now at a relatively lower value would do for her taxable estate and any possible estate tax owed at her death. 

I also had a hard time transferring money internationally, so kept most of it in Canada, and saved up for a downpayment while working full time here.

Currently I have a traditional IRA in my Fidelity account sitting in cash that I would like to use to invest in a cre syndication or maybe a note or debt fund... but first I would need transfer funds into a self directed IRA with a company like Equity Trust.

I was wondering if you have any recommendations with help for transferring title and setting up a Wyoming llc as a holding company?

If you properly transfer the deed and know what paperwork you need, only #1 is a real threat. 

I assume the LLC will be disregarded for tax purposes and since it is only spouses who are members the transfer can be treated as not being a sale...similar to when I transfer property into/out of our trust for estate purposes.

The property is in Arizona and we don't have a property transfer tax in Arizona.

He said that transferring my properties from my name to an LLC would trigger the due on sale clause.

It's $2 for a bank transfer and 2.75% for credit/debit transaction.
