The eviction came about after this management company essentially held the house ransom stating they would not vacate the property unless I wire transferred funds to meet their $3,650 demand.

It's not really a benefit to be confusing.What they want to do is have the property transferred into a trust (days, hours, minutes) prior to settlement.

@Coley JamesYes you would transfer the property via quit claim deed to the llc.

What wouldn't be better than a Roth which is tax free, has no maintenance issues, and is "instantly" transferred to your heirs upon your death (any account names beneficiaries and is transferred on death).As always, it comes down to what one is comfortable investing in, or having somebody else invest / manage for you, and what can you effectively make money.

People have done loans subject to but the original borrower stays on the loan and it could be at risk to be called once a deed is transferred

The property manager should transfer those funds to you.

Next, this information should be transferred to a bigger database, where you can store email addresses and other contact information.

A good way to check the reliability of a property is to see how many times it's been transferred throughout the years.

I would include at least the heavy hitters like title insurance, transfer taxes, appraisal, and paying my closing agent.

Having the right attorney is a big part of the business, but also understanding how violations, town inspections, zoning certs, transfer stamps, PTAX and other "fun" parts of the closing process work are a huge part of what we do as agents.
