who should sign the lease agreement and utilities ?
Hello BiggerPocketors
My wife and I just placed an offer on a townhouse, and we're pretty confident that the seller will accept it. We are also in the process of creating an LLC in the state where the property is located and a holding LLC in Wyonming so we can get the full package (asset and liability protection, anonymity, and mitigation of taxes). Since it's our first investment property, we are planning to manage it ourselves. So the question is: Who signs the lease agreement, the utility agreement "if not included it in rent," or even landlard insurance? Is it my wife and I or the LLC company? Assuming we've already set them up before closing, I hope to get some informative information. Thank you.
