Here some ideas to make it go smoothly:- Put together a financing file electronically that you can share (maybe you have done this already).

I would make sure you do a very thorough screening of your potential tenant to make sure things move smoothly.

All my efforts of the previous 17 years (time that I've been in real estate) are tied up in the equity of this house.Any thoughts appreciated.Hello Dave,I know lots of real estate investors in CA with either fully paid off houses or high equity properties are refinancing their homes at record low interest rates (2.625%) then transitioning that money into max funded indexed universal life insurance policies (IULs). 

That way you can learn the business and you'll have a book of business before transitioning to do your own thing.But yes, real estate agents can invest independently while working.

Buses became a more attractive choice for transit operators; they were much cheaper than streetcars and could be easily rerouted as new urban areas developed and rider demand shifted.

Buy lower, rehab myself. 1031 was super smooth and easy!

This year my partner and I went from 5 to 60 units and it was a pretty big transition. 

Feel free to PM me if you want any other details of how I have transitioned out of my J-O-B.

I am just getting started so I am green in all areas, but am interested in the feedback on this subject and curious how to transition existing properties from personal to an LLC.

Super smooth listing, great pics and easy sale.
