Hi,I am trying to understand member loans to an LLC that will contain a rental property. 

I have an LLC, recently opened a self directed IRA. 

Hey all,I'm finally at the point where I'm going to file for my LLC.

Hello,My wife and have recently formed our LLC for the purpose of getting the liability protection from tenants. 

But it is what it is, and now it's time to do some things like an umbrella policy, better accounting system,  also looking at a series LLC and then a management LLC (wow, so much good information I have found here on those topics.

In the context of an LLC, that would be your operating agreement.  

First I would like to know if it is important to start my first property off in an LLC?

I'm interested in learning more about MD LLC's as well.

Since I own this property under my personal name and not my LLC I can have the option to refi for another 30 years with a fixed term that would qualify due to my cashflow on the property, My W-2 income from the bank, and my LLC income.

Hi @Joe Fairless - two of the biggest mistakes/problems I see are (1) not recognizing that when you bring in investors and give them a percentage of an LLC that is actually a "security" and there are laws that need to be complied with in issuing the security, and (2) not addressing capital call provisions (or other financing options) in the event the venture runs short of capital after the initial round of investment.
