Hey Laura,Not sure if you are still looking to partner with a trusted title company in Central PA but we have used Capstone Land Transfer for 100+ transactions and loved the experience.  

After buying this house, I partnered with others to invest in a duplex in the Wichita area.At the moment, I’m living in Tennessee, and I’m weighing two options: either selling my house and using the proceeds to buy a duplex in Overland Park or Wichita with my partners, or keeping the house for another 3 years, transferring it to our LLC, and renting out the entire property to maximize its rental potential ( $1400-$1600 ) I currently owe $200k on the property with a 6.5% interest rate, and my monthly payment is between ($1,700-$1800).

Either with cancelling and transfers, or anything in general.

Do you want a disgruntled heir contesting the transfer sometime down the line?

Transferring mortgaged properties to an LLC may trigger due-on-sale clauses, but transferring to a trust first can mitigate this risk.

An LLC does make sense to protect assets, but will cost some money to set up as you cannot close in an LLC with a VA loan - it would have to be transferred post close.

I have a contact at a military contractor that has employees transfer in for a 3-5 year gig.

This was done to protect senior citizens on fixed incomes from being forced to sell their homes due to unaffordable property tax increases.Since the passing of this amendment, all properties in Michigan have two property tax values associated with them:State Equalized Value (SEV): supposedly equal to 50% of the market value of a property, not based on recent sales price.Taxable Value: the SEV annually capped as long as there is not a transfer of ownership.City Assessors are charged with determining how much property values have changed each year.

Many investors start with personal ownership and transfer the property to an LLC later, but it depends on your long-term goals and risk tolerance.

I tried QBO and Xero years ago and QBO would not allow automated transfer of data from AppFolio (my PMs software) to QBO; so, I have used Xero since then and been happy with it.
