I've done this with my properties because I'm well known in my small town and don't want people to know what I own.LEGAL PROTECTION: By placing your assets in an LLC, you are legally separating them from your personal assets.

The first sentence alone is something that 99% of people need to hear and internalize. 

As an investor, leveraging OPM (other people's money) is something that I’m used to and based on my current situation it made sense.

To save time on people inputting. 

Pretty rare from what I see that cities allow or want this....turns single family neighborhood into multi family and most of the zoning people don't like this.Plenty of issues from their point of few of why they don't like it.....parking is one...now no one parking in garage, and potential for more cars...so now 3-4-5 cars in the street.More taxing on the water/sewer/trash/police/fire/city services.I wish you the best of luck with this. 

You don't need to establish business credit ahead of time for the A-paper great commercial mortgages, we do them all the time without any established credit.So you wind up, fast forward a couple years, with a bunch of different LLCs that you share ownership of with different people.
