Wholetail is different because you buy it and take title to it.

It makes us feel that they are trying to hide their identities 2) we could not find any information on the founder of the company 3) could not find any info on the company on the internet 4) when they ask us to pay, they have a discount with Zelle.

If you aren't sure who to choose from, ask each of them for a meeting/consultation to break down your goals, the market, and the acquisition process.Once you've selected one, have them draft the offer for you and take it from there.The best agents are responsive, knowledgeable on the local market, have a strong supporting team (i.e. lenders, title, inspectors, title, etc.), and know how to put together a deal.As @Michael K Gallagher mentioned, you'd want to clarify whether or not your agent is also representing the seller.

I'm not 100% sure on this either, but I believe the way that it would work is you form the LLC first and re-title the relinquished properties into the LLC before sale.

Your title and last paragraph seem to be asking about reinvesting in your business while a lot of the middle is more of entity structure.

I bought a 5 acre property through the tax sale in June and finally getting title work finished.

I would include at least the heavy hitters like title insurance, transfer taxes, appraisal, and paying my closing agent.

The "seller" never transferred title and the in-place loan remained in effect.

Only one bank account needed, but you'd have to track income & expenses to do transfer and year-end accounting.As @Nathan Gesner mentioned, not really worth it.You two could also open a joint bank account for collecting rent and pay expenses, just be sure to track everything.Do NOT do what @Paul De Luca stated about transferring title!
