You have Dave Ramsey's advice and followers who would tell you to pay of the home first and then invest. 

I have four (4) duplexes in Baltimore in my name and want to transfer ownership to an LLC I formed, so I have the following questions:1) Do I have to use an attorney as opposed to a specialized entity (title company and such)?

To cover myself, I added the following provision to my lease..."... when needed to water the grass, Tenant agrees to allow use of their paid water to maintain lawn health and appearance as needed."

Following to see what happens, please keep us posted.

Thank you @George Blower @Michael Plaks @Dmitriy Fomichenko @Daniel DietzI will definitely NOT go ahead.I have read that you can partner with your IRA if this is done right from the start, so the original contract and original deposit follow the appropriate splits.

I also explored the option of doing a ReFi on one of our VA Loans to a conventional loan so we can free up our VA loan to utilize it again for our follow on 4 plex however, the lender that I spoke to told me that we may run into issues doing that as well.

But now is the time to focus on your college education and if you do it the right way it will hurtle you way past 90% of the people you are following here on BP.

Interestingly enough people will most likely shiftmoney away from real-estate and into TIPS or something that is protected against inflation.In my view you are faced with the decision:purchase a house with falling prices and rents (due to the recession that would follow), or put your moneyin something that protects the principal value against inflationary pressures. 

(It is important to note that I misunderstood the prorating first months rent part of the lease - which is the only reason I didn't question the actions of the landlord in the following proceedings.)November 2 - I found out that I could sign my lease for my new apartment on January 15, 2018 (which was awkwardly on a Monday) but if I could avoid paying rent for two apartments I wanted to give it a try.

Moreover, I am given another name and number to contact (a manager) which I followed up with only to receive the same list.
