Have you found a solution (be it a person or technology)? 

But they definitely heard a story from another person that never owned one about how expensive it is. 

But, that is not always the right answer and you should speak with someone familiar with your personal situation to get advice specific to you.

Does anyone have experience transferring a rental property to an LLC from their personal name?  

If you intend to do the rent by room strategy the ideal situation is for each guest to have their own bathroom or, at the most, to have to share it with one other person.

The postings created by a property management company will likely include the property management company's information in the description (they may even have their name watermarked on all of the listing photos).

Also, I personally know Nancy and others mentioned in one of the posts and I PERSONALLY know they are doing as well as they say they are!!

I personally like to stay in mine for 3 days atleast while I setup to know my properties more intimately and to work out the bugs which would be problems for guests.

I've closed 3, so definitely not the most experienced on the Commercial Side, but in my experience a lot of these Commercial Lenders want to see a Personal Financial Statement.

If you personally reach out to an off market property, the seller may say they will not pay your agent, leaving the compensation up to you.
