I want to talk about which type of LLC should I use and how to transfer properties to an LLC, whether I should Quit Claim Deed or Warrant Deed, or what other options are available.Any referrals for the Pasadena, TX area?

His underlying loan is a hard money loan though, so I don't like the idea of transferring title and taking subject to, even if it's just going into a land trust that we own.I'm trying to figure out a way to protect our investment capital on the rehab and then be able to resell the finished product for a nice profit. 

Transfer the beneficial interest etc....

All they need to do is to sign the Affidavit of Heirship and the deed, in order to transfer the property to you. 

The Roth IRAs are both transferred to the same custodian, and they both become members in the same purpose created LLC, which then opens a checking account that gets funded with your IRA moneys, and from where you do your investing.What's important in that setup is that once the 2 IRAs have invested into the LLC (each IRA is a member in proportion to the amount invested) you can never add more money into the LLC with future IRA contributions because the LLC becomes a prohibited party after it gets funded (or this is what the lawyer explained anyway).

There are depreciation advantages to non S-Corp status, and it's typically much easier to transfer property in and out of a non S-Corp status entity. 

Of those, 4 have submitted applications, and all are viable applicants (based on income, criminal background checks and credit checks - I'll be calling employers and landlords today).My question now is, since a couple of the applicants live 2 hours away (transferring for work), they won't be able to sign a lease immediately. 

Only catch is that this system requires the tenants to give approval for the credit/background check via an email address.Buildium also allows tenants to pay electronically via a bank transfer and creates your very own best site with your current listings.Hope this is helpful.

Good Tribune article today on how Rahm and the City Council plan to transfer the entire $550 million property tax hike to properties valued over $250,000.http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/..."
