Rather than call and inform me they were going to trigger the default rate (5 basis points higher), I learned through a mailing.

If you did in fact sign and send in funds directly to the direct ownership entity and they then placed you in a feeder fund structure, it would likely trigger GP liability. 

I have identified the following people I need to have in place before I pull the trigger on a BRRRR opportunity 1.

But I never acted because I didn't have the money, knowledge or confidence to pull the trigger. 

Still probably won't pull the trigger---hurricanes can really kill your cash flow for very long periods...but will think about it.  

I’m having a bit of paralysis when it comes to actually pulling the trigger on any deals.

So I appreciate your perspective here as I make a decision..And the reason I wanted to transfer it to an LLC now instead of after the 1031 is complete is mainly precautionary, because I have approval from my lender now to complete the transfer, whereas I'm not sure if my future lender for the replacement property will allow it and decide to trigger the due on sale.

Does quit claim deed into an LLC trigger any title tax?

The problem if you quit claim the property from you to the LLC you may trigger the "due on sale" clause of the mortgage.

If you've educated yourself and the numbers make sense, pull the trigger before someone beats you to the deal.
