@Brent Coombs Some obvious advantages would be access to the MLS and not having to pay someone else fees for listing a property (if you were to).

I  use sellers agent for this property. i believe in this strategy - going with the sellers agent, in LA hot market this is an  advantage non cash buyer can get when there are multiple offers.

Loans can be processed from the Solo 401k at 50% of the account balance but cannot exceed $50,000.Also, Roth 401k contributions are allowable regardless of income level, thereby affording taxpayers, who would not otherwise be eligible, to take advantage of the Roth component.

@Tomer Ravid the previous landlord was charging $525/month in an area where market rent 5 years ago was $850/mnth for a similar apartment (2 bed 1 bath).What I did was put in over 100 hours of landscaping work, upgraded the appliances, upgraded the kitchens and baths (all as cheaply as possible, for example, I painted pink tile white, used thermoplastic panels and liquid nailed them over the old tile backsplash, laid down new vinyl floors over the old nasty vinyl, etc) and was able to take very nice pictures and market the property very well.I also allow dogs, so that is a huge competitive advantage in the area.

What advantages are there to having an LLC and also keeping the properties under my name?
