anyone done this? i'm weighing the pros and cons of expanding my real estate investments under an LLC rather than as personal property. i've found a fair amount of info on google searches but i'm curious if anyone here has personal experience with this, either the process of establishing, tax benefits/disadvantages, etc.

I had an LLC in Virginia until last year when I moved back to NC. I was my only employee and it allowed me to simply track my expenses and profits and let my accountant include it on my annual income taxes.

 

I applied and paid for a business license, established a PO Box under the LLC, set up separate bank accounts and got a local small business start up grant to design and host my web site.

 

It was all very easy. If you're going to work for yourself, it's just an LLC Sole Proprietorship.

What does your tax advisor say to do? I would start there.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

 

i don't have a tax advisor.

 

i'm tossing a bunch of different ideas around at once. i've paid off my first property, opened up a line of credit on it, bought a second property, and i'm scrambling to renovate it and pay it off now; i'm still on track to be able to develop a line of properties with established tenants over the next two to three years so i can buy a large piece of land and start building my commune/phillyb cult.

 

i actually just came across a piece of land today that's absolutely freaking perfect for what i want to do (though terribly expensive) so i'm weighing options and trying to figure out if there's any way of expediting these processes by using an LLC. i don't want to make the mistake of falling in love with a piece of land and limiting myself when something just as good can open up down the road when i'm better prepared to jump on it, but god damn i want this poo.

There is a cost in having an LLC (I would estimate $500 a year in annual filings, additional paperwork, hassle, etc), but it is probably worth it to place these assets in, especially if one of your assets could subject you to some type of negligence suit.  

 

it's a $30 registration fee and $200 annual report filing fee in NC, if i'm reading right

 

Reg fee is definitely $125 or $150, can't remember which.  

 

 

Yea, I believe my annual report was $125 each.

 

Holy crap! 

 

I paid $50 a year to the State Corporation Commission in VA and didn't have to file an annual report.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.
