LLC with single member VS Individual? Thoughts?

[Modeste Tchakoua]

Dear Experts,

Thank you for reading my question. I would like to ask if there are any advantages of using a single member LLC Vs. putting ones personal name in a property. From my reading, the opinion is that you can still be sued personally even if you have a single member LLC. If this is true ( forgive my assumption), is there any advantage going through the extra paper work? How about the tax burden/incentives?

I am in the process of buying a property and not sure if I should put in an LLC.

Would appreciate your thoughts on this subject.

Thanks,

Modeste
