You would use the LLC to help shield your other assets (such as your primary residence) from loss in a lawsuit. That coupled with adequate liability insurance is best you can do to protect you other assets.
The down side: Q/C to an LLC violates the standard clause in a conforming loan called the Due On Sale clause. I have never heard of a bank calling a note due as a result of this, but they could.
My husband and I live in California, but we own 2 investment properties in Texas in his name only. We have an S-Corp and an LLC that we just formed because we are intending to invest in more properties.
My question is, should we Quit Claim the 2 texas homes to the LLC? If so, why?
