I'm looking for guidance as a new investor on what would be the best way to transfer my primary resident home in Florida from my personal name to a LLC and can anyone refer someone that can help me?

You need to make sure the lease transfers as much of the Liability to them (Hold harmless & indemnications, etc.).  

We have 8 rental properties that are in our names but after reading some recent news articles, we want a better way to protect our personal assets and improve our credit score (due to a huge debt to equity ratio from these rental mortgages).We created an S-Corp a few years back for our restaurant, but we never used it as we went in with other partners and created a partnership.I'd like to use our S-Corp to transfer our 8 rental properties into the S-Corp to provide asset protection.I have 3 questions:- What is the cost involved to transfer ownership to an S-Corp (NYS).- Can I pull out money for investing back into the property as needed during a transfer (I assume this will mean a re-finance and lose our current mortgage rate of 5.3%, but the last two rentals I bought the int rate was 5.7% so it's not too far from the current rates)- Putting all the rentals into one corp - What will happen if we wanted to sell 1 or 2 in a couple of years?

I have been doing quite a bit of research and from what I have read, everyone recommends setting up an LLC.The Problem:If I set up an LLC, how can ownership of the properties be transferred without the banks calling the loans.

If you transfer title to the Corp, you lose the capital gains exclusion on the sale of the property.

So there is no transfer of deed without a sale.You can do this on Short Sales also

Pennsylvania is pretty strict and I know that if I buy a MFU and then transfer it to a LLC, I have to pay a transfer tax of 2%.

This will be the first money paid out upon sale/transfer.
