I plan to manage myself and coordinate with a team that includes handyman, plumber, cleaners, virtual assistant, etc.

Even though the title is in a LLC they already know who owns the LLC and if title was transferred from Mary to LLC even more chance Mary might get more than a fine.

I like being able to quickly go into my online banking and access my “3-Plex” and see that I have $18,127.94 as a balance and when the electronic deposits were made and what day the mowing service check cleared and then flipping over to the mortgage account and transferring the payment due 10 days early and seeing it clear the next day.

Would I need a general contractor to help coordinate this work?

Owner financing was also the better route for both parties as a result of dealing with the state in transferring permits and operating rights on the water well and sewer system, which is a slow and arduous process.

Upon transfer of ownership we inherited 6 vacancies which we immediately updated or rented for market rate.

Title does transfer, but the mortgage doesn't.

With rates so low we pulled cash out of one of the properties and we're going to use those funds to buy the third and keep our savings.In a huge turn of events, my husband will be transferring to San Diego this spring, and looking at the price of homes is an absolute sticker shock. 

You will get title insurance and adequate hazard insurance, there will be a closing attorney or title company handling the transfer of funds, and you will get legal documents drawn up (DO NOT use an online template) by an attorney familiar with lending in your state (which may not be the attorney that closes the deal because they often aren't generating loan docs, but receiving them from lenders).

Get the free removal and delivery/installation and have the tennant coordinate that.
