Hi Mark
Kohler here with another two-minute tax and legal tip I'd like to talk about the
LlC, and a rental property [I] have so many phone [calls] from new Clients around the country that say mark
Do I need an lLC for my rental? What should I do do? I need one lLC do I need five LLC's?
What should my structure look like well? That's a great question let's talk about it first
Let's talk about the two groups out there now
There's one side of the spectrum that says you should have an lLc for every run well frankly
I think that's overkill it can be a lot [of] cost and maintenance to set up an lLC for every little project now if they're
Worth 500 Grand or a million or you have multiple partners [I] get it
But I'd be cautious of [falling] trap to that lLC for every rental strategy on the other extreme
[we've] got people that say. Oh, just set up [one] lLC, and you can have 25 rentals in one LLC
I don't know if I like that one either you have all your eggs in one basket
and if there's a lawsuit with one property they can get it all the other properties in the LLC now before I give my
Recommendation keep in mind one important Factor to an LLc is not just one sheet of paper Click-Click-Click online
And you're done folks you need to have all the pieces and parts an operating agreement
Minutes a corporate book a bank account tax Id number if you need to the protection of that LLC
When you show [up] in court, you better have all that stuff and we have
So many clients that come to us going I set up my lLC on legalzoom, or some website. What do I do next and
Folks, we love to clean those up get them organized and get you on a maintenance program it to be [as] little [as] 150 bucks
A year just to maintain the LLC in its proper way
So think about that in this equation because an LLC is more than just one click of a button
[so], what's my recommendation balance?
I think [your] asset protection structure and your lLC's should grow with you if you get one rental get an LLc
Now maybe two and three rentals can go into one LLC
I'm okay with that
Let's look at the equity involved let's make sure the llc's set up properly in this state where the rental property [is] located
not in Wyoming or Nevada or Delaware set up the LLC where the property is and
Start by putting your first rental property in there
Maybe your second or third, and you start to get four five six or [seven] or ten or fifteen rentals?
Then maybe we add a second or a third LLC
Maybe even a holding company lLC to hold them all there's all sorts of different strategies [with] single member LLC's
Multi-member Llc s using Iras and Llc's [and] even series LLC
There's a little bit more than just again going online and click like click
I'll just do it myself bottom line get an attorney involved it understands taxation
Can set up entities in all 50 states and help support you with company maintenance and even be an address for you and make it?
Affordable it shouldn't be thousands and thousands of dollars
But set up Llc's as you grow and as you expand don't overdo it and set up an elaborate structure
Just because you have to rental. We set up entities for 800 bucks in any state within a full attorney support
Consultation and paralegals help and do the whole thing
