We are talking to my father and my sister to see if they would be amenable to transferring the deed into my name to facilitate the loan.

@James Thompson Transferring property from your in-laws to you can be done through a gift, sale, or trust transfer, each with different tax implications.

Both my aunt and my mother’s husband have agreed to remove their names from the title, transferring sole ownership to my mother.

My goal is to transfer both the deed and the mortgage to an LLC.

However, I do have a lender that can conduct an entity transfer with a commercial loan from 2 units and up.

Both my aunt and my mother’s husband have expressed their willingness to remove their names from the title, granting sole ownership to my mother.My mother is interested in transferring ownership of the property to me and allowing me to live there.

I would get with the city asap and find out all the details on this.It could be possible that if the LLC changes hands that it loses it's exemption.

This would allow us to come to the table with less funds out of pocket on the front end when starting construction.Is the best way to complete the transfer of ownership through a traditional sale registered with the county? 

A relative who does long-distance real estate investing told me that I have to sign the final loan document and the transfer of ownership document in person.

I want to note that bookings will transfer, but we're under no contractual obligation to honor them.
