Multi-Family commercial syndicate investing with a personal LLC?

[Dustin Karas]

I'm considering investing with a commercial real estate syndicate. The syndicate is an LLC itself. Would it make sense for me to invest through a personal LLC? I don't believe it would provide any more liability protections per se, but I thought it might let me start using some expenses to create tax deductions for business that might have otherwise been considered personal expenses with no tax deduction value.

Thoughts?
