If the title fee estimates get a little crazy, maybe you have a close friend that is a title agent or attorney that you can work into the deal in exchange for them arranging settlement.Just spit balling.

@Chad BlessingI have a friend that received a discount in exchange for agreeing to exclusive / right of first refusal for future units in his portfolio.

Of the home I do not live in, I would like to create an LLC and get transfer the home from the mortgage under my personal name into the LLC with the intention of later selling the home with a 1031 exchange to purchase a larger investment property.

I am providing this link for some insight into your question about today's lending market.

But if I could do things over again, I would have sold it while it was a rental instead of moving back into it, and 1031 exchanged it for two new properties.

Thanks again for your insight.
