anyone done this? i'm weighing the pros and cons of expanding my real estate investments under an LLC rather than as personal property. i've found a fair amount of info on google searches but i'm curious if anyone here has personal experience with this, either the process of establishing, tax benefits/disadvantages, etc.

I had an LLC in Virginia until last year when I moved back to NC. I was my only employee and it allowed me to simply track my expenses and profits and let my accountant include it on my annual income taxes.

 

I applied and paid for a business license, established a PO Box under the LLC, set up separate bank accounts and got a local small business start up grant to design and host my web site.

 

It was all very easy. If you're going to work for yourself, it's just an LLC Sole Proprietorship.

What does your tax advisor say to do? I would start there.

Sent from my SPH-L710 using CarolinaHuddle mobile app

 

i don't have a tax advisor.

 

i'm tossing a bunch of different ideas around at once. i've paid off my first property, opened up a line of credit on it, bought a second property, and i'm scrambling to renovate it and pay it off now; i'm still on track to be able to develop a line of properties with established tenants over the next two to three years so i can buy a large piece of land and start building my commune/phillyb cult.

 

i actually just came across a piece of land today that's absolutely freaking perfect for what i want to do (though terribly expensive) so i'm weighing options and trying to figure out if there's any way of expediting these processes by using an LLC. i don't want to make the mistake of falling in love with a piece of land and limiting myself when something just as good can open up down the road when i'm better prepared to jump on it, but god damn i want this poo.

There is a cost in having an LLC (I would estimate $500 a year in annual filings, additional paperwork, hassle, etc), but it is probably worth it to place these assets in, especially if one of your assets could subject you to some type of negligence suit.  

 

it's a $30 registration fee and $200 annual report filing fee in NC, if i'm reading right

 

Reg fee is definitely $125 or $150, can't remember which.  

 

 

Yea, I believe my annual report was $125 each.

 

Holy crap! 

 

I paid $50 a year to the State Corporation Commission in VA and didn't have to file an annual report.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      After last season, it was the same question. And the answer most people came to was "If he doesn't make the playoffs, he's gone." He made the playoffs. No matter how it was done, we made it to the playoffs. He's safe. He's going to have a chance to keep working this out, even if next season isn't a playoff one.  I think we'll do better next year than we did this season. There's something being built here.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      The NBA is a very fickle league. Kon is one of the hottest rookies in years and beyond just his play on the court he is a very steady competitor and that translates to the rest of the team. That has been a glaring absence with the culture of this franchise through the bulk of the LaMelo Ball years that's just being completely blunt and realistic. The enigma of LaMelo Ball is he is entering year 6 and still either red hot or ice cold. We need him to find that sweet spot. Logic dictates the Hornets will want to see this core again next year. But the clock is beyond ticking at this point. It's put up or shut up. Especially considering what the Thunder managed to do recently. I'm hopeful they can keep these wins rolling in and get some much needed playoff experience under their belts which will help substantially.

      I think as long as the Panthers are competitive with Canales they should keep him. Pepper needs to repair his/the teams image as a place prized free agents aren't hesitant to consider. Just dont do any crazy poo for a few years.
