You may be able to look up the sellers/buyers in the county records over the last few years to see if it was transferred between investors but not much more than that. 

There are Facebook groups, REI meetings (attend a LOT more), searching records for recent cash buyers, etc. 

This means they did not communicate to the tenants during the transition.Accounting issues: income for December was recorded as the full rent amount when only part of it was received from the previous owner via Venmo.

In some however you may avoid it by proving to your property appraisor’s office that there was no change in ultimate beneficiary,Once transferred you will need also to update the name insured on your policies and update your lease and utilities contracts.Tax wise for you, if your LLC is disregarded that would not change anything for you as you will continue on the same depreciation schedule as before and you will just record the tax basis value of the property as a contribution to your LLC.

But it also depends on how organized you are, if you bring detailed records to your CPA and they can your taxes, account for any depreciation, possible deductions easily then it might be cheaper.If you bring a shoebox of receipts and little to no records and want the CPA to be your bookeeper maybe they aren’t charging you enough.ThanksLuke

you will find on the open market.. set ups like this will have few takers for the note..note investors will look at this as a cash out sell you the property type deal.unless you keep the NOTE VERY low LTV and give a great return.. but you may find a note newbie that will bite.. but note investors that do this for a living wont do it at least those I know wont.you would be just as well to find someone to do a cash out refi.. but in practice if you want to try.. simply have the title company prep a mortgage if its a mortgage state and a note and record the mortgage like any other loan.. 

I have gone into the tax records/ ECT to find the real owner of the address they give as well. 

If the land use on the tax records state a duplex, but the zoning is Rs you may be able make it MFH.  

I do know from county records what he purchased the property for and it was in 2012 for approx 90k under current market value.

Speaking of BPCON, I attended the 2019 one, and am wondering if there is a link to the recording of the sessions?
