So, I know this isn't related to real estate, but it does deal with taxes and investing, so I figured some of you guys would have some good suggestions.Someone I know was in a car accident and he will be receiving a settlement now for the negligence of the other driver involved.

A dil is not as bad as a foreclosure, neither is a short sale, they are viewed as a settlement on your credit report.

So here are my questions: Can I transfer the property into a LLC after I make settlement.

They can either pay you before settlement or you can take the original contract and the assignment of contract and to a settlement company and start the closing process.

Have you tried offering your mystery tenants a significant "Cash For Keys" settlement if they'll leave?

I am about to buy my first home through foreclosure -- I accepted the bank's counter offer and signed all documents on April 8 (10 days ago) and agree to close on May 8(they want a quick settlement).

You have allowed less than 10%You have nothing in there for the buying settlement.

We just received our settlement papers and they are trying to stick us with $3,300 in attorney fees.

The judge would more than likely pierce the corporate veil to fulfill a settlement involving another one of your investments.

The bank will want to see a HUD-1 settlement statement showing them their net and showing all the other charges.
