Im a newbie in the education phase, looking to LLC this thang right out the gate, so whats the sexiest REI business name you've ever seen or thought about but it was too crass to actually name your business after...and shoot! 

Before I move ahead is it a good idea to start a LLC?

Myself, 10+ years in commercial facilities management and owning my own LLC business for home management and lite repairs. 

Consider getting an LLC.  

i have 2 rentals i bought cash under my LLC . and i right now I'm buying 4 more houses cash with funds i took out of my credit cards to buy these houses cash.

.- RE attorney: discuss whether or not forming a series LLC is right for me.- Financial Planner: Again, just want to make sure I'm doing everything right.I'd appreciate any recommendations you may have for people you've worked with that you like and who understand the specifics of RE investing.

Finally, use all these numbers, including purchase price, repairs, rental income, expenses, and sales price or cash out refi after X number of years (you can play with these parameters) and calculate IRR on the series (can use the excel function to do this) ... this is your total return, over the life of the investment, including ALL sources of profit.

We currently looking at Memphis, seems like a hot spot for cash flow homes, and an area that is within our budget.Our current questions are about forming a Partnership, or a LLC, and what tax implications there will be.This is all a new venture for me, so I'm soaking up a lot of information, and would love to know more!

I purchased two properties in 2015 through my LLC. 

If we are an LLC with 50/50 share of equity and cash flow, can the silent partner take a 75/25 cut of the tax gain/loss?
