In the event of a lawsuit or creditor claims against the properties, your personal assets would generally be protected, and only the assets owned by the LLC would be at risk.Tax Advantages: LLCs offer flexibility in terms of taxation.

It's a great idea because it gives you the greatest flexibility in your purchasing. 

Their benefits are incredible – 3 personal deals, rev share, agent attraction, cloud-based flexibility, and 24/7 support make it an ideal choice for me.

I'm moving out of state for work and really need the flexibility of being hands off without losing the opportunity to make changes. 

Finally, they are so flexible that you can designate who gets what percentage, etc.

It's quick to set up, has a very intuitive interface and has a lot of flexibility.

Having the LLC already in place gives you more flexibility for tax purposes further down the line.  

Especially in the days of buying foreclosures, cash deals was a key to winning contracts.Paying cash also has flexibility for value add deals, where after you reposition and retenant the property, you will seek a mortgage. 

I'm new to real estate investing and trying to learn how to get my feet wet and get into this field.I feel like from everything I read, I am not quite in the position to be as flexible with securing my first investment property (ie, married with some children, not wanting/interested in moving, etc).Would like to hear how people did come up with the savings/money down to use to purchase your first investment property. 

Eventually I want a large portfolio that gives me the flexibility to cash flow AND fix & flip.
