Agree with @Thomas S. and @Joe Villeneuve :  Extracting the equity to redeploy into either a new asset class or a diversifying RE income stream would mitigate the risk of that equity evaporating due to market conditions. 

To get technical, you will be going up against the Economic Substance Doctrine which states that a transaction has economic substance if: (1) the transaction changes in a meaningful way (apart from Federal income tax effects) the taxpayer’s economic position; and (2) the taxpayer has a substantial purpose (apart from Federal income tax effects) for entering into such transaction.By transferring your primary residence into a LLC, you would not be changing your economic position.

Ideally you can extract your initial purchase costs and the cost of the rehab but in full disclosure I have never been able to get all of my investment money out via this process (but I have gotten out almost all of my investment money).I am a big proponent of the steps I outlined. 

OOS is great for investors who can scale quickly to fifteen/ twenty SFRS otherwise earning $200 to $300 a door is not meaningful

My attorney tells me this is a very common practice to extract a higher settlement.

It would take a long post to break down in detail but basically I used none of my own money on my first deal and it had enough equity that I have been able to finance everything else since without adding any funds other than extracting equity from my properties.

I figure some type of finance accompanies REI however I’m just cautious as who and where I put my money.. any meaningful directions would be greatly appreciated 

Also - could you please point some of the meaningful resources I can use for gaining more insight on the market.

If the numbers are right for where I'm currently at, Id be elated to work with you on any type of deal with the goal being to  provide value in any way I can to foster future partnerships within the community.Thank you all at BiggerPockets for creating such a treasure trove of information for us newbies and I look forward to creating meaningful relationships with members here in the future.

I like bringing an offer from my buyer and if we do the deal great but we are not waiting around months for a seller to extract every basis point out of a sale.I am an investor myself and I do want to buy deals of course.
