Does the house remain in the owners name or does the title or deed get transfered to my name.

After my wife and I closed on the house, my brother and our mother would give us his portion of the down payment as a non-taxable gift (both gifts under $14K limit per giftor) with the intention that we would transfer ownership of the house to a LLC owned by all three of us.

I would like to transfer title to a LLC at closing.

My insight as to how to best proceed may be of value to a buyer or seller or both, but that value can not be justified beyond the usual and customary cost associated in transferring title.

If so you might be able to set up a solo 401k, then transfer the money by a legal sleight of hand.

Part of the 10% of rents you would pay them is to transfer that risk to them. 

My accountant advised me to buy and rehab a flip in an S Corp, and then if I keep it, deed it over to the LLC and do an asset transfer in QuickBooks.

Through some networking (and prior to knowing about this site) I transferred management to another company.  

I haven't met with my accountant yet but I am going to pose the same question to him and see what my options are for making this transfer as beneficial as possible. 

And last point - the only concern that I have with refi'ing is that in MD (specifically Baltimore) we have to pay transfer and redecoration tax on re-fis to the tune of 2.5% for investment property.
