[taxchat] Rental property in LLC

The attorney in my BNI group referred a new client to me a couple of months ago.  Last week she told me that the couple, both physicians, had purchased a rental property and that she formed an LLC for them.  She was going to put the rental property into the LLC. When I asked her why she formed the LLC, she said to give them a layer of protection. I said don't do anything until I check out a few facts regarding this.

 

The more experienced folks on this list always say to never put property into a corporation.  Now, they will have to pay the annual LLC fees to the STate of CT, and also file a 1065 for the rental....both costing the clients more money.  Does anybody see any problem by putting the rental into the LLC's name? 

 

thanks,

Donna
