I want to thank Rent To Retirement & Zach, who got me a free consultation for.The costs to do this do reduce cash flow as well as the administrative time to file the different returns/reports are real, but it is worth it to reduce liability for the long term. 

It's also just easier administratively.

Just my opinion but one residential property per LLC is an overkill in my mind and just ends up costing a lot more money down the road in administrative / accounting fees. 

The police never reached out to me.Fast forward 10 days later and I'm getting a notice that I have to appear for an administrative hearing because I was "allowing" gang activity to occur and jeopardizing the safety of the community.

The deposit we are willing to collect over the first few months if needed to lower the cost of entry.We are getting some calls, but lots of no-shows when it comes to appointments for showings.We had a lot of problems in the past with tenants bringing in drug dealers, homeless, and various other criminal activities.

Let's break down the pros and cons of each approach:Forming an LLC in the State Where the Property is Located:Pros:Compliance with Local Laws: Establishing an LLC in the state where the property is situated ensures compliance with local regulations and laws specific to that jurisdiction.Legal Clarity: It provides clear legal jurisdiction and may simplify any legal proceedings related to the property in that state.Perception: Operating with a local LLC may give tenants and local authorities confidence in your commitment to the community.Cons:Additional Costs: Setting up and maintaining an LLC in another state means incurring additional registration fees, taxes, and possibly hiring local legal counsel.Administrative Burden: Managing multiple LLCs across different states adds complexity to your administrative workload, including extra paperwork and compliance requirements.Tax Implications: You may face tax obligations in both the state where the property is located and your home state, potentially leading to double taxation or complexities in tax filings.Managing Through Home State LLC:Pros:Simplified Management: Handling all properties under a single LLC streamlines administrative tasks, reducing paperwork and simplifying tax filings.Cost Savings: Avoiding the need to establish multiple LLCs in different states saves on registration fees, legal expenses, and ongoing maintenance costs.Consistency: Uniformity in management practices and legal structures may contribute to efficiency and ease of operation across your real estate portfolio.Cons:Legal Exposure: Operating out-of-state properties under a home state LLC may expose your personal assets to the laws and liabilities of the other state, potentially diminishing the liability protection the LLC offers.Compliance Challenges: You'll need to ensure your home state LLC meets the legal requirements for conducting business in other states, which could involve additional filings and fees.Perception and Credibility: Some tenants or local stakeholders may prefer dealing with a landlord who has a local presence, which could impact your reputation or relationships in the community.Ultimately, the decision depends on your specific circumstances, risk tolerance, and long-term goals.
