My mom and I would like to transfer the title of her home from her to me, in order to protect the property from the costs of nursing home care, if she should ever need it.

@Scott Smith he specializes in RE asset protection.

I know i want to wholesale deals first so that i can get a different feel for it all cause the rehabing part i know i can do that hands down i mean remember ive been doing that for years right but should i get my llc ,web site, cread packets , business cards, phone number,ex.... first or just market to find homes for sale with out any type of credability or protection from the llc ?

As I understand it, we are not allowed to market these properties to strangers publicly (Craigslist, BP Marketplace, etc.) 

There is a commonly believed myth that owning property in an LLC will protect you from lawsuits.

Hi Steve,It also comes down to comfort levels of whether you like to micro or macro manage your funding pools as well as your own personal financial auditing style.You also need to keep legality in mind as to whether the property is setup under a personal or corporate entity in order to protect yourself or your personal assets etc. 

Since you live in Milpitas, with regards to your Prop 13 tax basis, if you are 55 years of age or older, check with the Santa Clara County Tax Assessor.https://www.sccassessor.org/index.php/forms-and-publications/forms/60-ah-transfer-your-assessed-value-prop-60-90When I sold my long-time San Jose home three years ago, I considered my tax basis transfer options if I remained in California, but decided to retire to a state with a lower cost of living and no state income tax.

One technique for finding deals that intrigues me is looking up NODs (Notices of Default) in the public records and then reaching out to the property owners (probably via postal mail) to see if they are interested in selling.It seems like there's a decent chance to find a highly motivated seller and perhaps a very good deal using this method.I am wondering if anyone in the forums has used (or attempted) this technique, and if so, what sort of results you've seen.

And, your comments about Hostfully sound about par for the course- startup entitlement mentality / tone deafness with no solid business model, no path to profitability, and just hoping to get bought or go public. 

I want to make sure we create the best legal entity for protection and tax purposes.
