Any business related expense that is allowed for a rental activity operating within an LLC is also allowed for the individual who owns and operates the rentals in his/her own name.  

What has changed materially is for investors to gain access to direct placements in individual projects nationwide using technology and for operators and platforms to be able to advertise their offerings generally.  

I have been in real estate since 2003 looking to network with like minded individuals to help me grow my business.

I work for a fee-based management company overseeing institutional investor assets, this one in particular is 650+ individually leased bedrooms with all the trimmings.

There is mold and mildew and different types of strains so more harmful than others.

Individually.Are the tax benefits same for rental properties held individually vs. in an LLC.Is umbrella insurance recommended for individually held rental properties.Does the umbrella insurance give the same liability protection that LLC's have.

@Antonio Coleman Excited to be joining a great group of individuals on this site!

They take care of all repairs except the infrastructure on your land, and hopefully individually metered for direct billing.

We each "own" our properties individually. 

I would love to meet like-minded individuals in my area to start bouncing ideas off of.
