Should I get an LLC on a property that I’m househacking

[Yasmin Mohamed]

Hello BiggerPockets! I just purchased my first multi-family house which I will be house-hacking. It was a long journey but I’m the first step to investing is done. My question is should I get an LLC if I’m living in the property and is the benefit of an LLC. Any advice is appreciated! Thank you!

LLCs make things difficult, much the same protection can be had by umbrella insurance. Plus, lot of people don't realize the level of effort needed to ensure they operate the LLC in a way that protects them.
