I have sponsored people in another industry before and got some great employees but real estate agents are a dime a dozen and due to the large cost involved with this I would not think you will find a lot of companies that will be willing to do this.One option is if you have some cash buying or investing into a franchise or a local mom and pop firm if you have any extra capital.

[/b]A few reasons: 1) the people promoting this often have dozens of properties, many of them owned outright, and use LLCs to insulate against personal liability and also to circumvent different state or local laws monitoring owners with more than a certain number of properties. 2) many people don't know what they're talking about and get excited about how easy it is to "start" an LLC which takes about 90 seconds and a $100-$500 filing fee in most states; their assets are not protected unless several requirements are met and most newbie investor LLCs don't meet the proper requirements. 3) People misunderstand how much liability protection you actually get with an LLC. 4) Lawyers, accountants, and "start your company" companies all get paid if you start an LLC whether or not it protects you so they have a vested interest in promoting their creation.
