Purchasing a First Property - Private or LLC?
Purchasing a First Property - Private or LLC?
In the process of purchasing the first property for Rantal.
The developer insisted that it is not mandatory to open an LLC but to register the property in my name because it is the first property.
Is it recommended? What's the ramifications?

- That if something happens to the tenant in your home you are sued and if under LLC you will not spend in court and will lose the house and society
- Make good insurance and everything is fine.
- You asked the entrepreneur why he was insistent, and if he did not have such a serious argument, it seems like an unclear insistence. We'd be happy to hear the reason.
- If you have one asset it is meaningless. The purpose of the llc is to separate the various assets you have in the US.
- There is a situation where the entrepreneur makes a leveraged purchase with a mortgage from a local bank that can then do so only if the property is registered in your name. And this may be the reason for his insistence.
If this is the reason immediately after closing and receiving the loan make a transfer to the LLC as recommended by everyone. - Another implication is inheritance, more simply to bequeathed LLC company than private property for foreigners.
- If the landlord injures you in the property, and in America very much like to claim compensation
He can sue you personally and you may pay a lot of money, that it is registered on a company, in the worst case, the company goes bankrupt and will look for you in a round… - Must open LLC! Unless you purchased a non-profit property (vacation apartment), if you rent a property or sell at a profit you must pay tax on that profit first in the US and then in the country .. If you are not a US citizen the only way to work according to the book in the US is to start a company Submit reports every year and thus manage the investment in the best, most orderly and correct manner. Any other solution has difficulties and inconveniences that you will not want to experience in the future, such as difficulties in money transfers and difficulty in explaining to the authorities such and other business moves .. The reasons that the guys mentioned here are also correct and important, but this is the most important! Work neatly from the first property so you do not get entangled and can develop properly in my humble opinion ..
- Is it advisable to open LLC also for Flip deals ??
- The reason the entrepreneur insists is that it is now much more difficult to open an LLC to an Israeli investor than in the past and there is a possibility that he is trying to shorten the way. It will take longer, and it will cost a little more than before, but you will always cover yourself in any case.
- No problem listing a property on your first name.
Take care of good insurance
And make sure we update a U.S. mailing address if you have one. (In case of fines and anything)
Sometimes it doesn't come to Israel and then it can create problems. - The first houses we purchased were renamed for a number of years and later moved under LLC
- For one or two properties there really is no justification. What's more, it's a one-time expense of a few hundred dollars + an additional annual spend of a few hundred dollars. Reaching a commercial number of properties has something to talk about. And you can always transfer the assets from your name to the LLC
- There is no rule of thumb when or not to open an LLC to list the property on it. It all depends on your intentions for the future. The listing of the assets on the LLC will constitute an entity separation between you as a private individual and the property owner who will actually be the company. In my opinion, in long-term thinking and considering all the factors, it pays off.
- An American company aims to protect you legally, it may be that owning one property is less important but, if you are planning to buy more homes, you have more properties outside the US yes you are worth opening - the costs are not high. By the way, there is no problem registering in your name In favor of shortening processes and after you get ITIN to make a transfer of ownership under the company is called
Quit claim made
And it costs a few hundred - I am a licensed real estate agent in the state of Florida so my entire answer relates to what the law applies to and pertains to the state of Florida. If you do not carry American citizenship the right way for you is just an LLC with a partner !!!!
- Entrepreneur who activates the head…
What's wrong?
Are you sure this is the first asset?
When is the second expected - Asaf Gishron The law throughout the United States explicitly states that a foreign investor whether he is registered
Privately and also registered under a company (as a sole owner) will be charged a tax refund of 15% of the sale price on the day of the sale regardless of expenses… ..a company with 2 owners is actually considered by law as a corporation and it "skips" over this problem many Israelis are unaware of You snatch the "slap" on the day of the sale and it's a shame
