I'm curious to try them out for at least one owner occupied client transaction to see how they work at transferring the loan, forms they file, required contract wording, etc. 

definitely not. especially if you stack instead of side by side. depends on the duplex but I'd be happy to take a look if you want. our pricing reduces by 15% from a single family to a triplex in columbus ohio and miami fl for new construction  Thanks Robert for sharing that data. 15% is a nice chunk to save! 

Where Would you even find this data?

The transfer of title could trigger negative covenants in the loan (eg: Due on Sale Clause).

Hello everyone, I am looking for advice on the best way for my mother to transfer the property to my name.

Secure the property, transfer utilities to prevent any freeze damage and then file an FED action.  

Only thing I need now is try and decrease the amount of time it takes me to walk through a property and populate the data.  

That permits you to easily transfer the bills if the unit becomes vacant and monitor that each tenant is actually paying the bills and keeping the property in working order so to speak.  

When institutions estimate operating expenses for calculating the NOI and subsequently the DSCR, they typically use industry benchmarks and historical data.

Also, for the second part of the strategy, we would transfer the duplex into our real estate property investment LLC after year 1 and have my sister move back into the single-family house as her primary and rent out both units in the duplex as short/mid-term rentals.
