LLC - Must have or nice to have?
Hello BP Community!
I am considering investing in both residential multifamily properties as well as some 5-15 unit complexes. Do I need an LLC when moving forward with a commercial property in that unit range, or is it just a "nice to have"?
Disclaimer: this will be my 2nd investment property, the first is a SFR. Look forward to the feedback!

You don't ever need an LLC, but it would be very wise to form an LLC for each property for a protection stand point. Make sure that you run it like a business. Set up a bank account, and run all expenses and income through the business
