It's nothing against you, but right before every single real estate market downturn, I've found that investors start to say two things: 1) real estate will never go down and the market is strong, & 2) I'll lend at 100% or even more or as a borrower, I need 100% financing.

By end of year I am estimated to have saved 45K.I am looking for alternatives to purchase more doors specifically the BRRRR method.  

I have 9 doors now across the Midwest all using different Turnkey companies.

When there is no realtor involved, it could be fine, but it could be disguising the fact that there would be fraud going on or that the purchase price doesn't equal market value (i.e. two related people selling a property one to another at an inflated value, etc.)

Sell the property to an LLC with two partners (one of them being my own)Buy the property with an NV or NM LLC (partners are not public information).

An LLC is useful for two things: anonymity and legal protection.
