One you can purchase on a land contract or lease option and not transfer the title until you own it free and clear, or you can place the property into a trust, actually your mother can do this as a matter of estate planning. 

If liens are not addressed and title is transferred without warranty (cash deal/quit claim deed).

@Kenneth LeBeau,In most counties (except several California counties) title can submit both Deeds to be recorded in the priority they indicate to the recorder (your purchase first and your resale right behind it).You can always execute documents before an actual legal closing and transfer of title takes place. 

I am currently in the process of getting my real estate license transferred to NE from FL and beginning to purchase rental properties here in NE.

I am actually about to get transferred down to Houston for work effective November, so I won't be making it to any more meetings, but I'll let them know that you would like to attend.

(vs. had I transferred schools from MIT to FIT) That is how I see this and anything.

I never OK'd this but the daughters been paying me rent every month via e-transfers so it's been fine. 

@Riley Caldwell,Yes - it would be preferable to acquire the property in the LLC to eliminate transfer issues later because of DoS.

Lot's of moving parts here with Prop 13, capital gains, depreciation, potential Prop 60-Prop 90 tax base transfers. 

I'm in the middle of this process now and am working to find an investment partner to syndicate with to transfer tax credits.
