How to Move Properties Into a Legal Entity

First of all, it’s important to understand why rental properties should be held in a legal entity, such as an LLC. For liability reasons, most lawyers would suggest doing so. In the event of a lawsuit, investors should keep their business assets and personal assets separate. If you need to transfer your rentals into an LLC, I suggest hiring a lawyer to assist. This ensures the process is done correctly, and in most cases will only cost a few hundred dollars.
