This is fine if we choose to sell after the renovation without ever having transferred into an LLC or other ownership vehicle given we would need to pay capital gains tax anyways.

I'm asking about this for one of our owners who has his brokerage account at Vanguard, but I do not believe they offer the product we are looking for, so I am wondering if we need to transfer his brokerage account elsewhere or if we can get a line elsewhere for his account at Vanguard?

It has to be cleared before the seller can transfer clean title.

Adding to @Stephen Nelson's response above, Personal Property which is incidental to replacement Real Property is disregarded, typically, when transferred together with Real Property.

If you are assuming the violations, GH gives you 90 days to complete after title transfer.

I made MANY calls to WF, talked to many different people and eventually was able to get transferred to "The Escalation" team. 

Title would transfer as it would in a normal sale.

However, some seller-written contracts include “no assignment” clauses, which means you can’t legally transfer the contract to someone else.

.- Ask about window warranties—sometimes they’re transferable, but installation is often not covered.- If the seller isn’t open to giving you time or credits for this investigation, that’s a red flag in itself.Bottom LineIf the numbers still work after solving the moisture issue and budgeting for possible mold treatment, this could still be a great property.
