Extra bonus if its a smaller/boutique mixed use type property as opposed to something like a restaurant or retail storefront.PM me if one or more of your investments match this profile and you are willing to share thoughts.Thanks!

It also gives you some extra protection and tax incentives as long as you set it up properly.That said, you can certainly work just in your name to start.When you're ready to setup your LLC, do your homework.
