We cannot provide legal advice, but we can speak to what we do personally and what we typically see most investors do. The important thing to know is that if you're using conventional financing, you cannot close with an LLC; you have to close in your own name. As most people develop a larger portfolio, they will develop some sort of LLC structure that's mainly for liability protection. As part of your strategic investment planning, we put you in touch with CPAs and attorneys specific to real estate in order to determine the right course of action for you.
