How to look professional as Sole Prop.

[Brian S.]

I plan on purchasing a property to buy/hold. I'm still going back and forth on whether or not I should hold the property in my name or in an LLC, but that's not the question here.

But saying I choose to own the property in my name, how do I title (the main heading) the documents that you give to tenants, advertise the property, etc. Would I just simply file a DBA with the state and make up a name and use that since I wouldn't have XYZ Properties, LLC, at the top or do I use my name or just leave it entirely blank? I would prefer to look more professional and not use my name or leave it blank.

Thanks.
