I do think (from what I have pieced together from listening to all the BP podcasts) that part of Brandon Turners strategy was buying in his personal name and then transferring it into his LLC after he has it financed in his personal name.  

You need to check with your FHA lendor to see if it is alowed to buy a properity from a related company.Also, keep in mind that you will have to pay transfer tax to the state as you move the title of the house from the LLC to you.Also, there is no tax benefit for having the LLC have the money be in the LLC or be in your name, if it is a sole member LLC, if they money is in your name or the LLCs there is the same impact.Talk to you bank about the BRRRR issue, best to map this out with them before hand.

Most of the banks I talked to want me to buy the homes under my name and then transfer it to my LLC for liability protection.

What steps do I need to do if I wanted to transfer my title to a LLC from a personal name?

No transaction costs and instant transfers.

With my limited exposure to the real estate investing community, I've learned that 'wholesalers' hold contracts with the sellers and transfer this to other investors or buyers.

He may be able to do what is known as an installment sale on a land contract - this is where the transfer of the deed is made upon the last payment so you're only paying the tax as the seller collects the money (as opposed to all at once).This strategy varies from state to to state so it's best to check with a local Real Estate attorney.

@Andrew Allen Add REAL ESTATE TRANSFER TAX to the list of negative things the Austin City Council wants to accomplish.

I'm very confident I could make it happen with a cash out refinance. 

If I have to contribute money in order to pay the expenses I transfer them from my personal account into the business account and then pay them out of the business account.
