Some of my research led me to believe that perhaps the joint purchase by a married couple (tax entity A) would disqualify me from the exchange, because the new purchase would be solely in my name (potentially tax entity B).2.

can I get it in my name then let it "season" for 6 months and do a cashout refi and pay him off?

Everything is still in the owners name. 

@Share Ross My last name is Boynton but unfortunately i live in a place much colder.

The note will still be in my name, however, outside of not having any difference in taxes, are they any pros/cons of having the LLC manage my property?

Allman, click on the person's name or photo to go to their profile.

Does this strategy have a specific name?

This may take a while, but you won't have to look very far to find a deal or struggle selling your projects once you have a quality following.In terms of finding people who are looking to get rid of their house, if you have their name you could always DM them on Facebook, its normally what I do. 

I have it in my name currently (No LLC or anything else just yet). 

My name is Preston Miller and I have decided I am going to start working on my retirement plan.
