Please let me know is this in Texas?

I've heard attorneys argue that if you put the mortgage in your name and later move the property to the LLC, you may have invalidated the LLC.  

I've been buying and selling businesses for the past couple of years and new to real estate.

how is the process/workflow typically work for you guys?

The plan was to fix up that house an rent it out long term but with the market being high and I was moving out of the area it made more sense to sell at time. 

There was a hole in the wall where the drywall was broken to access the pipes.

@Stephanie Lopezhi, happy to help but not sure what to say here. just to be blunt, you're asking random people on the Internet... if you should meet another random person that you found on the Internet. 

You may have to sell the whole property to access the funds in the IRA or 401k when you retire and for required minimum distributions. 

We're thinking of starting out with short term rentals near or on the beach.
