Find out how much is being held for deposits, they need to be transferred to you. 

In simple terms, your gains get transferred to the new property and continue to grow tax free until you sell the new property.

A deed conveys or transfers property from one to another, be it an entity or an individual—that is consistent for all deeds.

@Stone Jin A quit claim deed is fine for transferring property, that is, when the person who is getting the property is not paying for it, as they have nothing at risk if there is a title defect.  

One other hair raiser about this guy to me was the fact that he was moving from a $450.00 rental too my $300.00 rental and said he could not afford the $40.00 transfer fee nor to have the financial ability for at least two weeks.

For buying I generally assume 2% for transfer tax, 1-2% for title insurance, and 1-2% for real estate taxes and homeowners premium.

When we transfer we than rent out our personal house as it is now an investment.

Also, the transaction history in PropertyRadar only includes voluntary liens and transfers - it does not include involuntary liens (mechanics liens, tax liens, judgements), so you will still need to research those regardless.As @David Mitchell said, the best answer is to educate yourself on the title search process, and then you can easily verify the loan positions in PropertyRadar and check for involuntary liens using your local county recorder (often online).Note that even if you pay the title company $150-250 for a title search, those searches do not come with a guarantees and the title companies themselves do make mistakes - thus the reason for title insurance.

Pro: you get a loan up to $35k, and can sell/transfer the home and still use the loan for another house without having to pay back.
