Danny Lyu My 2 Options: Personal vs Commercial Loan
26 November 2024 | 35 replies
Several things to consider: 1) One of the main purposes of segmenting your assets into separate LLC's is so that your personal net worth or equity in other business ventures or properties isn't exposed, so unless you have a high net worth or a lot of equity in a property, it might not be worth bothering going the separate LLC route, especially when it restricts your financing of the property.  2) Most any commercial financing you get from a local bank for a small property is going to have recourse anyhow and require that you sign a personal guarantee, so you're still personally on the hook to the bank even in the case of a commercial loan.  3) If you're a newer investor and buying a deal that's tight on cash flow, or if you don't have a ton of cash sitting in the bank already, your greatest risk factor as an investor is your investment failing economically due to poor financing terms or not operating the investment properly, not because you get sued.

.: Quote from @Chris Seveney: @James WiseI was sitting next to a doctor at a conference who did a private money loan and lost $$200k then he did a jv deal where he became co-owner of a LLC, gave a personal guarantee on the asset and put money in the deal to buy it but didn’t put a lien on property so partner went and leveraged the assets as well and ran off and dr had personal guarantee.They then bought a property and renovated half of it then decided to knock it down….I had a successful shoulder surgeon ask me to list his apartment building that was under-performing.
Charlie Martin Purchase under an LLC or not?
25 November 2024 | 7 replies
@Charlie Martin Buying under an LLC offers liability protection and separates business finances, but it can complicate financing with higher rates and stricter terms, and lenders may still require a personal guarantee, impacting your DTI.For your first property, consider purchasing in your personal name for better loan terms and transferring it to an LLC later if needed, while using strong umbrella insurance to mitigate risk.
