What I’m wondering is what other strategies if any exist for transferring that cost to the tenants other than putting in new furnaces, etc.

I have money in an E*Trade IRA and want to transfer it to a self directed IRA for a down payment on a rental SFR.

This question comes up to my mind when I plan to transfer my property to my Wyoming LLC.

I have my strategy;1) Sell property 2) Place funds in 1031 exchange. 3) Purchase new rental property of equal or greater value. 4) Transfer rental property into LLC name for liability protection. 5) Refinance to pull equity out6) Buy more rental properties. 7) Repeat 5&6.

Could the lien be transferred to me in order to clear title?

-framing cavity's (wall floor and ceiling) should be completely filled with thermal fiber or roxul.if you have a fire door hopefully it is a insulated one and not just a hollow steel shell. a door with a threshold would be best so sound doenst transfer through gap under regular door.if the units are vibrating a lot they should sit on rubber dampers.theres 2 areas to focus on when trying to limit noisevibrations from one material through another like foot steps above or vibrating machinerythe other is airborne sounds like talking and speakersthere are many products available to help you reduce the noise unfortunately it sounds like you may have to invest some more money and time being they are already rehabbed

That said my interest would be around 4% total, I believe due to the total equity, which I'm assuming is partly why you asked a family member to transfer their account so you could increase equity and lower rates. 

@Clayton Hepler It means that in order to close (transfer ownership) any and all outstanding debt must be paid off.

How do these leases transfer?

Deposits should transfer to new owner.
