Assuming you pulled permits for the renovations, that could have triggered an increase in value.

After realizing it made sense to transfer title into an LLC, I started investigating and talking to my lender and I was told that since it’s a Freddie Mac loan it would trigger a due on sale clause.

It took me two years to pull the trigger. 

Hi Heath, Thanks for the response first and foremost.The 100k would come from my primary home which is a SFH, I bought it from my parents for a deal and have done renovations.The multis I am looking at are for me to purchase to repair / renovate and rent out all over southern NH and dont plan to pull the trigger on anything for another month to get some more things in place.Thanks.Josh

Finally pulled the trigger and purchased my first REO property to flip.

I am super excited, finally pulling the trigger!!!

Until you pull the trigger and buy something, this is only a hobby.

Im very new to this guys, but feel I am getting close to pulling the trigger.  

It's often tempting to buy lower-tier props because they are cheap, and new investors want to get started yesterday, so it's enticing to pull the trigger on something just to get the ball rolling.

You're also at risk of triggering the "due on sale" clause of your mortgage by doing a quitclaim deed to another entity when the loan is in your name.
