Do you need an LLC for your house hack stack? We get this question so often that we put together a panel of experts to walk you through the process and figure out when is the best time to put your assets into an LLC. Estate Planner Pam Maass Garrett of Law Mother, Byron Elliott of 3 Pillars Law, and House Hack specialist Ben Einspahr with Envision Advisors joined me to talk about the three phases building your house hack stack, asset protection, finance and tax basics, plus estate planning.
House Hacking can be broken down into three distinct phases: when buying, while living there, and after moving out. The protections you’ll need and the benefits of owning real estate in your own name will differ during these phases. Putting your property into an LLC too early can leave money on the table. On the flip side, keeping your house hack in your name as you build your house hack stack can open you up to liability after you move out.
Whether or not you put your house hack in an LLC, there are other asset protection measures you should be aware of as a landlord, from getting the right insurance to tracking all of your expenses. Check out the webinar to hear more of the details and connect with our experts when you’re ready to start the asset protection and estate planning process.
