Property under LLC or my name?
Hi everyone,
Last year, I created an LLC, but I haven't purchased any properties yet.
I would like to buy a property close to where we live, in which my wife's parents will live for some years. After that, I would like to rent it out.
With that said, should I buy it under my name and then transfer it to the LLC when the time comes to rent it out, or should I buy it with the LLC immediately?
And, if I buy it with the LLC immediately, do my in-laws need to have a rental contract or can they just live in it?
Thank you for your help,
Andrea

You don't need an LLC for one mortgaged property.
Make sure to have correct insurance and maintain property.
