We have 3 condo rental properties under a revocable trust. To protect our personal assets, we are looking at either transferring these properties to an LLC or getting an umbrella insurance policy. We don’t foresee that we will be adding more properties in the future and wanted to get feedback from this group on what is a practical route.

I went umbrella policy as it was faster to setup and easier. I’ve been told that LLC really isn’t important until at least 5 assets

Thanks for your feedback. I was actually thinking the same but wanted to see if there’s something I’m missing out on the LLC aside from the liability protection.

Hi all - any advice for a first time real estate investor looking to make their first purchase at the end of 2021.

I plan on saving $50K, for a $350-400K property in the Long Island, NY area for my first property. Does this sound reasonable? And does anyone have any experience & advice investing in the LI area?

Id like to rent it out for some positive cash flow that I can then start using to save for my 2nd property (sounds easy when I type it).

Thanks all for your input - stay safe!
