Can’t they also review the deed in which you transfer title from your name to the LLC for a nominal amount which similarly is a recorded instrument and is a telltale sign the owner has changed in title only? 

Under the amended rule, a broker could give an unlicensed person a gift of merchandise having a value of no more than $50 and this would not subject the unlicensed recipient to a charge of unauthorized practice as a broker, nor result in a violation of TREC rules by the broker giving the nominal gift

In most municipalities you will still be required to pay transfer taxes equal to the properties assessed value even if the property is transferred for a nominal amount plus deed prep and recording fees.

HI @Jyotin GautamShort answer is no in Texas Long answer according to the Texas Real Estate Commission " Under the amended rule, a broker could give an unlicensed person a gift of merchandise having a value of no more than $50 and this would not subject the unlicensed recipient to a charge of unauthorized practice as a broker, nor result in a violation of TREC rules by the broker giving the nominal gift."

It's nominal but I'm already taking a bath with the storm and don't know what will come of my two reservations for this weekend or next.  

In most states even nominal transfers to single member LLC's still require paying transfer taxes based on the properties assessed value. 

In this case, it would be appropriate to allocate only a nominal amount, if any, of the building’s sale price to carpeting.

And one thing I think you’d need to add to your analysis is the total return on retaining the property — that is, the equity appreciation too.If you buy a CD, when it matures you get back the nominal principal but inflation has eroded its real value in the meantime.

In most municipalities you will have to pay transfer taxes equal to the assessed value even if transferred for a nominal amount plus deed prep and recording fees.

Perhaps not for the economy on the whole, especially with the insane amounts of debt being racked up, but real estate prices have effectively depreciated for about 2 years given even when RE prices were going up, inflation was higher so while the nominal prices have increased, real prices have (or at least had, I haven't looked for a while) declined since their peak.
