Hi All! I am getting ready to attend my first judicial tax deed sale in Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania. I want to protect myself and form an LLC in case I run into legal issues with the former homeowners of any properties I may close on.
My questions are:
1. Is forming an LLC in this case justified?
2. For those of you who have LLCs, what's the proper LLC to form to protect myself on all sides?
Would love to hear back from those of you have formed LLCs, have auction experience, etc. Horror stories welcomed! ;)
Sharing some advice outside of your questions...
1. If you are able to re-assign the tax deed to your LLC once formed you may opt to Do that while you get your feet in the door to acquire your tax deed. Essentially don't let the ambiguity of the LLC hold you up from moving forward with the tax sale.
There is a lot info on forming LLC's and even S-Corps for investing, taxes, and personal asset protection .
