I'm in the hunt for someone to hold my license, I will not be active in CT and I will be transferring my license to New york where I am active.  

When we do our numbers we account for everything- realtor fees, seller assist, construction, holding costs (6 months), taxes, transfer taxes, disposition fees etc.

If there is some coordinated effort among developers or incentives from the City for increased development in the key areas, the surrounding neighbourhoods will benefit from the spillover once the key areas reach critical mass.

What is the best way to transfer the title of the property from my name to my LLC?

@Miguel Vasquez usually a conventional loan has a clause saying that they disallow the same condition of the loan to be transferred when you transfer the property to a different "person".

I have to use a GC because I don't have time to oversee and coordinate the project.  

Sign Listing Agreement to sell relinquished property.Sign Agreement of Sale with Buyer.Retain 1031 CORP. as your Qualified Intermediary (QI).1031 CORP. prepares documents and provides closing/escrow officer with instructions.Closing takes place and proceeds are forwarded to 1031 CORP. and placed into exchange deposit account.The 45-Day Identification Period and 180-Exchange Period begin.Identify replacement properties to 1031 CORP.Sign Agreement of Sale for new property and use exchange proceeds for deposit.QI provides closing/escrow officer with instructions and transfers exchange funds.Replacement property is acquired and exchange completed.

I'm looking for a General Contractor who is willing to walk properties (I realize there may be a fee), provide a decent estimate of costs, and ultimately perform/coordinate most of the rehab work.

Real estate typically held in LLCs since they have relatively strong asset protection, ease of transferability, and default to flow-through status for tax purposes, which can be more favorable for real estate investing.Corporations, have ease of transferability, but taxation is generally less favorable.

As for re-drafting and signing a new lease in its entirety I believe the original lease which was transferred over at closing to my corp name should hold up well if we simply sign a new extension. ( I guess i can check with my attorney).
