Will you live in it while at this duty station with the intent to sell it when you transfer or will you keep it as a rental to help with retierment?  

I'm trying to determine if I need to get my LLC name transferred over as soon as we close.Any feedback is appreciated.

You can leave before a year if you meet their requirements for moving (job transfer, new baby, etc...). 

Owner-occupancy rules may also vary depending on lender -- but I had to transfer cities for work within a few months of purchase, and the lender had no problems with that.

First-time buyers, seasoned investors, international money - lots of demand from all angles. 

There are multiple ways to transfer title.  

Can you sell a house to a family member/friend/significant other and then be put on the deed after the transfer?

Have a CPA help you guys structure this- but a 1031 would be your best option to transfer that equity into apartments I would think. 

I am doing a lot of all these in a hot little market close to the Tryon International Equestrian Center.

I closed on a $50k house here in VT and pulled up my HUD, and here's what I have:- credit reporting fee $15- flood zone determination fee: $25- Documentation fee: $350- Attorney fee (incl title search): $1,000- recording fee: $150- wire transfer fee: $40.This does not include insurance prepayments, utility deposits, or items like that.
