I called documents company and they said they charge $100 to transfer the property's deed to me.

@Kenton McDanielIf there are federal tax liens a deed in lieu will not work as the default won’t allow the title transfer at no cost if the house has equity.

Germain Depository Institutions act of 1982 forbids banks from triggering the due on sale clause for transfers to an inter vivos trust. 

The 1031 company only transferred my name onto the new properties and not my partner (we should have caught this but we didn't until it was already done).

With the option of being able to transfer to a new duty station or stay in the area, I'm debating on how to proceed.

I am currently looking into a wholesale deal but I only have the following information: Price, sq. footage, clear title (will do a title search on my own), pictures, buyer pays for transfer tax, they are looking for a 1 week settlement.

I explained my situation and as soon as the property transfers into my name he will be able to give me zero down financing as long as it appraises for the value I gave him.

Should I start with an AZ license then transfer or get the CO license?

It is a common tactic for scammers to say they paid more than you asked for then ask you to pay for moving services etc. with the extra funds then cancel the transfer and make off with the money you allegedly paid for other services. 

Have you thought about getting new credit cards with 0% transfer fee and 0% APR for the first 12 to 18 months?
