To give you a background, I have a property in Maple Valley City in Washington state with a clear title paid off for land.

You can also speak with real estate brokers, title officers, other investors, the local zoning officer, etc.  

Hide you money, drugs and valuables off site.If you do your own opens, do it for a couple of weekends.Once you have someone interested, you fill out a purchase & sale agreement, collect an EMD, open escrow, order title, verify ability to close with the buyer's lender.

How long it takes to close will vary with each title company or attorney.

I’m  getting tired of seeing small mom and pop operators believing they can operate through title only and achieve the same separation and  liability protections.

Though I write that we’ll provide $XXX toward the funding of our borrowers’ next deal, like most lenders, I qualify it by stating that this is not a loan commitment but is pending approval of the property, an acceptable preliminary title report, and some other weasel words.Why any borrower or their agent would accept this is beyond me, but they do, and it seems to be what they want to keep the deal moving.

The tradeoff on the joint financing is going to be the (refi) costs associated w any transfer of ownership, HOWEVER transferring title to the LLC is unlikely to trigger due on sale (b/c it sounds like most banks simply aren't monitoring and/or enforcing due on sale in these instances) which would make the ownership (sans the actual mortgage note) more easily transferable than exiting your position as an individual owner?

You have this experience on the rehab side, you just need a competent team around you: title company, insurance agent, realtor, etc.

I do like that they are usually managed by really smart and experienced people with lots of impressive titles and credentials, but just don't like that they get paid even if losing money.

NO title insurance  NO going through escrow or a lawyer all my deals myself and staff we did the closings and prepped all the necessary docs to transfer title.
