Buy rental properties under LLC or Personal name. Please Help !

[Mike Tao]

Hi, Everyone. I'm a newbie to real estate investing, and I have been reading a lot of the material. However, it seems like the more I read the more I get confused. One thing in particularly is the legal entity, where I see people say buy properties under LLC for asset protections and tax breaks, but I also it's impossible to get a loan from bank using LLC. So, if I get it under my name, do I still get asset protection or tax breaks? I'm really confused. Please Help ! Thanks.
