Miles Robinson Should I get an LLC for my first investment property?
13 September 2018 | 3 replies
Things to consider:1) Depending on the state you live in, an LLC may not provide as much protection.2) If you don't keep your finances perfectly separated (and even then it's not a guarantee), an LLC may not provide you protection.3) You'll end up paying more in your mortgage and your LLC costs.For those reasons, especially for your first one, it's generally fine to just get a lot of coverage in umbrella insurance (or a lot of personal liability coverage in the property insurance that you'll carry).However, I'd be very interested to know if any BP member can say that an LLC did prevent them from losing money or getting personally sued at some point -- I haven't seen that posted.
