Therefore, transferring our jointly owned investment property into my SMLLC would not trigger a due-on-sale clause?

In Phoenix, I might call up a friend who invests in mixed-use properties south of Roosevelt Row, and that friend might know a local title rep who’s been working with out-of-state buyers who like to pull the trigger fast.

I am sure someone has worked out the best workflows, triggers, messaging etc....

I’ve always wanted to renovate my investment properties, but it’s so hard to pull the trigger.

If things go truly south, you may as well invest in dry goods, it will be worth more.Cryptocurrency is not regulated at this point, until then it provides a free way for anyone to move money between countries tax free; convert illegal gains from criminal enterprises, legally hide business profits as it's not recognized as money...

Can you ever use these funds as they accumulate to go purchase another property or does that trigger taxes?

But it is the lowest down payment option, and likely the lowest rate option as well. one tidbit - condos don't usually like the STR piece, so make sure to do your DD in whatever area you're looking to buy in before puling the trigger. 

There is a group of rip off people looking at newly minted millionaires to drain them dry.

I will be going down there in a couple of days, and interested in building/developing/investing, I am a licensed Mexican Architect, I have friends living there as realtors, US investors, and US builders ready to pull the trigger. 

If this were a brick and mortar bank (now I switched to one), this would have been flagged to me before the bank took the action of refunding the money, triggering an investigation.
