first deal should close by thursday this week.thinking of buying a tax lien property at an auction. if i took title to my name first, then did a quit claim, and transferred title to an LLC.

However Baltimore city requires you to pay transfer taxes to record a contract and refuses to record memorandums.

-There may be a Due on Sale clause in your mortgage that states the bank can force a sale when and if title transfers - since it will be transferring to you, you may be forced to pay off the note through a refinance or a short sale.

How would one know/find out what the penalty for transferring title would be if it's not actually spelled out anywhere?  

@Bobby HughesIf you are self-employed at least on a part-time basis you can explore opening a self-directed solo 401k, transfer some or all of your former employer 401k plan and then invest the funds in physical real estate. 

By the way, many thanks for the transfer tax calculator!

Can i transfer my duplex/triplex at a latter point into the llc?

Guess what... it's only digits transferred from one account to another..  

The only thing we have to do is transfer money to someone and 2 months later we will get it back, plus 15% interest, and if she doesn't pay, we get to put a lien on a house worth $75k.

Then, you do not have to deal with any agents.Make sure to calculate and factor in all the costs on top of the winning bid, including:- Back Due Property Taxes- Rehab Costs- Municipal Liens- Past Due Utility Bills- HOA Liens- Mechanic Liens- Eviction Costs / Cash for Keys- Legal Fees- Court Fees- Transfer Taxes
