you would have reviewed and signed the documents which listed what was covered and should be transferred. 

(A lot of this plan has changed since I discovered the @BiggerPockets .com group recently) I was originally thinking to use my VA Loan to get into properties with little down and do 2 year flips and then "sell" or "transfer" the property deed to my partners name to free up my available VA loan to purchase a 2nd property in Hawaii (I lived in Hawaii for 3 years and have solid connections and visit often) which would be Multi-Family Unit and allow me to rent out the other units full time and possibly do short term rentals in our unit when we are not on the island.After joining the BP group I have since learned there are many other resources and quicker outcomes than in my original rough draft plan.

For you to buy sight unseen (or using pictures that are who-knows-how-old) is a risk on your part and you should get compensated accordingly (with a lower price).Also remember that at the bottom of every MLS listing sheet will be a disclaimer to the effect of, "information is deemed reliable but is not guaranteed and buyers must conduct their own due diligence".

It is also transferable. 

(*Thoughts: Private money seems to be dependent on knowing someone (which I don't), Hard money seems more feasible, VA loan would require the home to be livable (which in turn may reduce much of the potential value add), conventional loan would require less stipulation than the VA loan, and personal credit cards (Not a bad option with 0% balance transfers and commitment to pay down.

@Blaine AlgerYeah, you can see when they initiate the transfer, both scheduled ones and manual.

If the Broker is offering a third party lead gen/crm tool then that's a different story, that way you can still transfer your leads into your own crm if you happen to leave that broker.
