Protecting Your
Mobile Home Park Investments: Setting up an LLC
As you go about finalizing a deal on the
purchase of a mobile home park, you need to take
into consideration whether or not you want to
set up a separate business entity through which
you will own the property. In this regard, an
ever growing number of men and women who are
investing in multi-family properties today are
setting up limited liability companies in order
to provide a vehicle for ownership of their
investments. Through this article, you are
provided with an overview as to how establishing
a limited liability company or LLC can be a
positive step when it comes to mobile home park
real estate investment.
Men and women who have extensive experience are
now nearly universally setting up a separate LLC
for each of their mobile home parks or other
types of real estate investments. There are a
number of reasons why they are taking this
approach.
First, an LLC is very easy to establish. In
most states, you merely have to spend a few
minutes online to set up an LLC. And, the
annual fee associated with an LLC really is
minimal in the vast majority of jurisdictions.
Second, the annual filing requirements
associated with an LLC is very simply to
complete. Unlike a more traditional corporation
or a Sub Chapter S corporation, the paper work
associated with an LLC almost is non-existent.
Third, an LLC will provide you with liability
protection in regard to your mobile home park
residential real estate investment. In this
regard, if some sort of liability issue arises
in the operation or ownership of the real estate
investment, an LLC will protect your personal
assets from attack in such an instance.
Finally, there are some tax benefits that you
might also be able to realize through the
establishment of an LLC to deal with your
ownership of a mobile home park.
If you have any additional questions pertaining
to your mobile home park or other multi-family
real estate investment and the benefits and
protections that can be realized through the
establishment of an LLC, you should consult with
a qualified attorney with experience in the real
estate arena. A reputable lawyer can assist you
in making certain that you do everything you
need to undertake to get your LLC in place and
to keep it up and running from a legal
standpoint into the future.
