Welcome back, friends! This week, we dive deep into the fundamentals of Limited Liability Companies (LLCs) and why they matter for real estate investors. Whether you're just starting out or scaling your portfolio, understanding how to properly use an LLC is key to protecting your assets and building a strong foundation.

We're debunking common myths—like the belief that forming an LLC automatically makes you a business owner or offers bulletproof protection—and explaining why careless mistakes can still leave you personally liable. One key topic we cover in this episode is "piercing the corporate veil," where mismanagement (like co-mingling funds or using incorrect signatures) can strip away an LLC’s legal protections.

Lastly, we also share real-life lessons from transaction missteps and offer actionable tips: keep business and personal finances separate, use proper documentation, counter-sign leases, and file biennial reports to stay compliant. Walk with us as we even break down structuring strategies, like separating active and passive income and considering an S-Corp or series LLC, depending on your goals and state laws.
