All I truly want to do is learn from others, meet owners and investors to grow my business and theirs, share and transfer the knowledge, and be the very best professional I can be.  

I've dabbled in options trading and cryptocurrency but I'm switching my strategy up and planning to build businesses and real estate assets so I can have multiple streams of income while working a 9-5.

There are few ways around this, including a job transfer of more than 50 or 100 miles (I can't remember exactly).You say you want to live in one side, it doesn't sound like you have any sneaky plans, but I wanted to share that it is mortgage fraud, which is a felony, if you say you're going to owner occupy but then don't.

Should the date of sale recorded in the county records at the agreed upon amount be the date the deed is transferred?

We had the utility between tenants and it was a bad deal for us as we had several tenants fall behind on there bills and utility company transferred into our name auto even while they tenant was living there and fell behind on there rent then they continued to stay through eviction running bills up and we was not able to shut off as we was not a utility company and land lords are not allowed to take it away here in Ohio so we got screwed and still trying to chase them from job to job attaching wages its been years.

@Libby Tucker you should contact the bank holding the mortgage and tell them what you want to do, i.e. transferring the property to the LLC.  

They must pay through Bill Pay/ACH transfer.  

that's what I thought...just wanted to make sure where no restrictions on transference of the property that didn't involve the lenders participation. so basically if they can cure then it's a go...

Can you just transfer it by doing a general journal entry?

If I were the one receiving the deed I would have a Virginia Title Company draw up the deed and record it once its signed since they will be intimately familiar with state laws regarding Quit Claim transfers.
