1. Liability Protection

This is the biggest reason people use an LLC.
If your property is owned by an LLC instead of you personally:

• Lawsuits or claims related to the property (like a tenant injury or property damage) typically stay within the LLC.

• Your personal assets — like your home, car, or savings — are generally protected.

• Without an LLC, someone could sue you personally and go after those assets.

Example:
If a tenant slips and falls on the property and sues, they’d be suing the LLC (the property owner), not you personally.

💰 2. Simplified Ownership and Transfers

An LLC makes it easier to:

• Add or remove partners/investors.

• Transfer ownership interests.

• Pass property to heirs without complicated title changes.

You can even own multiple properties in separate LLCs to isolate risk (so one property’s liabilities don’t affect another).

---

📊 3. Tax Flexibility

LLCs are “pass-through entities” by default:

• Income and expenses pass through to your personal tax return.

• You can deduct depreciation, repairs, and other rental expenses.

• You can elect to be taxed as an S-Corp or C-Corp later if your situation changes.

There’s no double taxation (unlike some corporations).

🧾 4. Privacy

When your property is owned by an LLC:

• Public records show the LLC’s name as the owner, not your personal name.

• This adds a layer of privacy and helps prevent unwanted attention or lawsuits.

---

⚖️ 5. Professionalism

Using an LLC can make your rental business appear more legitimate to:

• Tenants (e.g., “Sunset Rentals LLC” sounds more professional than “John Smith”).

• Lenders, contractors, and property managers.

---

🚫 Possible Drawbacks

There are also some downsides to consider:

• Mortgage complications: Some banks require you to refinance if you transfer a property with a personal mortgage into an LLC.

• Cost and paperwork: You’ll pay state filing fees (often $50–$500) and need to file annual reports or taxes.

• Insurance overlap: You still need proper landlord insurance even with an LLC — it doesn’t replace it.
