You would be wise to consult with a professional.I'm not sure if you are aware of the parent-child exclusion from reassessment in California. 

I'm not an attorney so I would suggest consulting with one.

I know I will need a more in-depth consultation with an accountant but just trying to evaluate the options and implications.Thank you!

Though you can purchase real estate in the state of Washington solely under one partner's name whether it's the wife or the husband during a divorce however it is a 50-50 State and any judge will hand over all properties equally you may want to consult a lawyer on this but I'm pretty sure that is the effect of it

Our favorite loan brokers (now called "capital consultants") include MJ Vukovich at Bellweather and the DiMarco brothers at Security Mortgage Group.

You can also find some multi unit on FMLS but I’ve been monitoring most of them are duplexes.

I'll be doing a house hack on a duplex and until I fill it monitoring the entire house. 

I don't even see why it's necessary since they will be with holding taxes for the sale.Does anyone know of a tax professional that could do a quick, last minute consult for me so I can figure out which tax documents I need to sign to get to the closing table?

Of course consult with your own tax professional for and opinion.
