We are looking to rent our rental property and new to this. It is on our personal names. We wanted to check if there are any advantages/disadvantages on writing the rental lease on our names vs should we create an llc and then put llc on the rental ?

LLC (if managed correctly) protects your personal assets from liabilities related to rental but it complicates mortgage, insurance etc, and adds in additional management overhead. As others said, umbrella insurance could be a good alternative to increase coverage, but understand that it’s not exactly the same. You may still want to get an umbrella even if you go with LLC route. Best to consult with an RE attorney who can evaluate risk profile and provide you the right guidance.

Thank you, very helpful.

Create an llc

If you don’t create an llc there’s another option which involves buying a shitload of liability insurance

What kind of attorney should we talk to ?

A real estate attorney in your local area - or real estate tax advisor might be better since you are new & likely will need tax advice next. A lot of real estate investors I work with use Anderson Advisors, but I haven’t personally used them. https://andersonadvisors.com/real-estate-asset-protection-workshop-training/

LLC advantages likely aren’t there for a single property. And a “shitload of insurance” aka an umbrella policy may only be a few hundred bucks per year.

I thought it adds value to have whirlpool tub. But can’t even change fixture. Should I get rid of it?
