I believe that flood risk is a bit overrated as most homes in Houston if flooded would trigger government support for affected home owners.

My attorney advised LLC's create a lot of unnecessary expense and paperwork, and, technically it can trigger the due on sale clause by transferring. 

It's tough pulling the trigger in this area. 

Or am I getting some things wrong.be harsh here that 40k is almost everything we got savings wise. we will have a 5k emergency fund after this. and the current tenant leases are up so I would have to start fresh tenant wise maybe hire property managment and just pay out of pocket for themIt looks good from a newbes eyes but I want to hear from the pros

@Daniel Gonzalez my comments are going to sound harsh but I promise none of this is personal so keep an open mind...You can't be serious that your investment strategy is to move into a property and actually live there for 2 years so you can go up on rent?

The harsh reality is, the listing agent isn't going to jump through a bunch of hoops for you if you are going to bring a buyer's agent in later in the process to collect half of the commission. 

Thank you @Wayne Brooks and Account Closed Do you think by changing the insurance to the name of the LLC this would trigger the lender to call the loan due?

Then I'll set a triggered message for a day after arrival to 'check in' with them, make sure they are enjoying their vacation, ask them to reach out with anything they need, etc.Here is what i already do.

Pull the trigger on another duplex if you find one right away.   

I hope this helps anyone out there hesitant on pulling the trigger.
