LLC or under your own name?

[Joel Matos]

Hello BP world! I'm a newbie to real estate investing but not to investing in general. A little about myself, I'm a finance major and currently working for a bank as an investment associate/financial specialist. I bought my first investment property last year and am trying
To reap all its benefits including, but not limited to, depreciation of the property, rental income, tax deductions, etc,. What do most of you seasoned "buy and holders" believe is best in order to reap the most out of my rental property? an LLC or just keeping the property under my own name? Any advise/comments would be appreciated!
