Purchasing Rental Property Using Capital In An Existing LLC

[Tom Sprecher]

We have had an LLC for the past 4 years that at present it is invested only in equities. We would like to diversify into real estate by getting our toes wet with some rental property. There is more than enough capital to outright purchase the type of property we are looking at. We would prefer to just use some of the capital for a down payment as the equities generate enough revenue to easily pay the mortgage. Should I still purchase and finance the property as an individual, or run it through the LLC?
