Forming joint entity

[Shaun Draughn]

Hello all, I'm an investor in the RDU market in North Carolina. My partner and I are in the process of getting permanent debt on a blanket of duplexes we currently own under an owner finance deal. We are in the contract under our respective entities names at this point but are contemplating whether or not it's beneficial/safe or whether it even matters whether we keep it that way or form a joint entity (LLC) once the loan is in place. Any suggestions, comments, advice are welcomed. Thank you in advance
