Pennsylvania is pretty strict and I know that if I buy a MFU and then transfer it to a LLC, I have to pay a transfer tax of 2%.

This will be the first money paid out upon sale/transfer.

If a Transfer of Claim never took place, the new owner or owner's servicer may not have been alerted the BK was dismissed.

some people suggest that as a way to get around the 2% transfer tax.

We were also able to disprove his claim of not knowing who we were or why we were suing him by A) a copy of a check Defendant wrote to my grandmother in 1999 (for property mgmt. service), B) loan documents in 1997 that Dad took out, naming Defendant as the POC, and C) a wire transfer in Dad’s name from our representing atty. to the realty the broker worked at before he opened his own realty (1994). 4.

All title co.s here require wire transfer verses cashier checks.

Would any of you feel confident i  yourselfl to do a little research and not consult an attorney and make a legal dexcision yourself.

Some people think "I will buy this now and pass on to my kids" etc....Also, when you do the conversion, you do NOT want to ever 'withdraw' the funds, only transfer them so there is not tax or penalty due.It can also be hard to find lending to use within ANY kind of self directed account.

The simple answer is yes, get your loan to a servicer upon service transfer and stop the self-service stuff.
