LLC Formation Services for Real Estate Investors

There are numerous good reasons to form a Limited Liability Company (LLC) including: (1) using the liability barrier to minimize personal exposure and maximize asset protection; (2) organizing and managing one or more businesses; (3) tax benefits including pass-through taxation; (4) achieving a measure of anonymity; (5) investor credibility in marketing and executing creative transactions; and (6) in the case of a series company, compartmentalization and insulation of assets and liabilities within separate series. This last item provides significant benefits to investors who own multiple properties. Price includes all filing fees, legal document preparations, and printed binder with formation documents, and articles of incorporation. Price: $1,000 (Setup an appointment here).

Major Advantages of Forming an LLC

Forming a LLC is a simple way of structuring your business to protect your personal assets in case your business is sued. With a LLC, you can purchase property under the LLC. However, there can still be liens and judgments against the property. The LLC protects your personal assets, but properties of a LLC can still incur liens and judgements.

One of the major advantages of having a LLC is that it is a federal pass-through entity. This means that the LLC itself is not responsible for paying taxes, but the individuals who make income in the LLC are individually responsible for taxes.

Other Great Things About LLC Formation

In addition to the pass-through entity tax benefit and the liability barrier; there are some other great things about having a LLC that are important.

First, a LLC is continued beyond death, retirement, resignation, insanity, bankruptcy or expulsion, because the entity will continue to exist.

Second, as an owner, you have the right and power to transfer all of your ownership interest to a non-owner without obtaining consent from the other owners.

Third, you can create a management that does not include owners who have control of the entity.

Fourth, all of the owners are not personally liable for debts, obligations, and liability of the entity.

Fifth, a LLC has flexibility with how it can be organized, managed, controlled, and financially structured. In respect to capital contributions, sharing of profits and losses, distributions, termination, dissolution and liquidation a LLC is easier than dealing with parties. This is especially true after death and with community property laws.

Here is a Summary of LLCs

  • Limited liability for all members.
  • Flow-through income tax treatment (federal and state).
  • More flexible in structure and organization.
  • More flexible with respect to capital structure.
  • More flexible with respect to distributions and allocation of profits and losses.
  • More flexible with respect to termination and existence.
  • More flexible with respect to the transfer of membership interests.
