Don't allow something as simple as selecting the LLC's name become a complication in your business.

I got un-renewed by my old ins and rejected by almost all ins companies (except for some crazy ones quoting me 10k/year) on my primary house, which is far from any fire zone but I had 2 claims on my 2 rentals (I am a small player so under my name not LLC) in the past 3 years so I got fked. 

I'm purchasing the duplex in an LLC.  

Gist of the situation is I am leveraging an existing property's equity to invest into a syndication, and formed a new LLC for the ladder.

When you have a small portfolio not having LLC is okay. 

If the property is in an LLC you cannot do it yourself in Utah, you have to hire an attorney.

I plan to get a DSCR loan on it after and cash out refi the renovation costs I put in and put into a LLC.1.

Other benefits to purchasing turnkey if you as a buyer is out of state or out-of-country is the knowledge and experience the turnkey provider can offer with such things as the best local lender for DSCR loans etc or guiding the investor on setting up a local LLC if the buyer chooses to purchase through a company as opposed to one’s personal name.

After 6 months, I'd use my LLC to purchase the property for $150K.

Or, put my rental property in an LLC.
