I have a a few properties personally and I was investigating another property in CA as an investiment with a few friends. We wanted to form an LLC to purchase the property and hold title. I was told by a realitor that an LLC can not purchase the property without buying it outright. In other words, I was told that an LLC could not mortgage the property?
Trying to accumulate properties and I have a business set up. I know if I buy a car or use a business credit card under the business my SS is used to approve loan but then I sign a personal gurantee and the libility does not appear on my credit report. Wondering if the smae is true for a real estate mortgage if it is in the name of an LLC? Anyone have experience with this?

Chris,
hi I’m a mortgage broker in Massachusetts.
If the Mortgage is in the Company’s name and using the Company’s Tax-Id your SS# won’t be required.
The guidelines are tougher but there are lenders who will write the loan in a Company’s name using the Company’s Tax-Id, but usually the guidelines and LTV restrictions are tighter.
I hope that answers your question. feel free to email or call me if I can be of any additional help 617-605-8975
