@Lauren MerendinoI strongly believe that your chosen market should be somewhere that you can go to in person / have strong personal knowledge of / have family or a network in already.  

If there is a due on sale clause in the loan doc then it doesn’t matter what the loan officer told you verbally.I’m not an attorney, but from my understanding of the loan is still in your name personally a good litigator can pierce the veil and your LLC protection wouldn’t amount to much.

If one is transferring property title from personal name, a Grant/Warranty Deed would be drafted/recorded to transfer title. 

Definitely a personal preference.

@Reyna AyalaI personally feel this is overkill.

If you don't look at them before buying in person, you will get burned at some point and regret it.   

Do you sell / buy real estate in Mexico personally? 

They seem to be a reputable company, but nothing beats personal testimonies!

My wife and I have overhauled our personal budget to reflect the 'pay yourself first' approach (allocate in order: income comes in -> invest -> donate -> fixed expenses -> variable expenses -> fun $$).We are looking to see what experienced people generally recommend for a holding tank for that 'invest' allocation while we target our first real estate deal.What financial vehicles have you guys used that works well for this?

If not from the person in office, then definitely from the person running against them.
