Granted that doesn't always happen someone might believe that they've been taken advantage of BUT if you know that you've worked to coordinate things for the benefit of all and you close, you have a good/great deal.

This turns out to be majority of the work that I do-- Pay utility bills and mortgage monthly-- Property tax payment (if not escrowed), city trash collection fees (once or twice a year)-- Coordinate annual maintenance of sprinkler system certifications and fire alarm monitoring contracts-- Review owner statements from prop mgmt. company every month to identify inflated or incorrect charges.

I just need permission to transfer back to a land trust after closing.

Just sounds like planning for a lot of cash transfers to me.You don't report them separately on your taxes, and there's plenty of budgeting/tracking software to keep the per-property data separate.

You need the money in a checking account in prior months sitting there you cannot have recently transferred funds without a trail or history (Patriot Act).

I pulled out about 62k and it was transferred into my bank account the next day.

It is my understanding that portfolio lenders are typically more comfortable lending to investors inside an LLC.I know many other investors have bought properties in their own name to get favorable financing and then performed a quitclaim deed in order to transfer ownership to the LLC.

You can also hire a local real estate agent who specializes in rentals to do the lease up portion of things for you while you focus on just coordinating with contractors for turn over. 

Just be aware you will have to release each condo unit from the note etc... and coordinate payoffs with the lender. 8 condo units isn't a lot though...Hope this helps some
