No access will be as reliable and easily searchable as having an agent run it through the MLS.

Congratulations - Seems like a great deal and simple transfer considering you've already got a tenant.Not much to lose on a 0% down payment so it's only up from here.

Equitable ownership is transferred to the buyer at closing, but legal title stays with the seller.This is often used when the seller is selling for a very low down payment and financing the balance.Contract for deeds have an unfortunate history of problems, abuse, and bad rep which tended to over shadow the positive aspects of these transactions.

@Marisa Alvarez can you contact the electrical company to confirm the services have been transferred or activated in tenants name.

In either case, you should verify that you are eligible to transfer the funds from your existing retirement account (e.g. if the funds are in your current employer 401k, you will likely not be able to transfer until you quit your job).Considerations in Setting up a Solo 401k to invest in real estate:1.

If so, can I transfer it to a LLC in the near future and how would that affect my interest rate or loan structure. 2.)

I’m starting to second guess myself simply from the information I am finding on Zillow...Rental data isn't reliable in every market, especially online rental data.

We’ve also considered private money(from family) to pay off the loan and transfer title and then refi later. 

If you have additional ancillary fees that can certainly dilute the % of the referral fee, but to @Marcus Auerbach point I'm not sure you need to offer the incentive.We've found that other realtors working with investor clients love having a reliable PM to refer to business. 

I am in need of a contractor who's reliable and someone I can build relationship with going forward.
