How can I separate myself from LLC yet still purchase w my money?
Newbie question. Forgive me if already posted.
I'm looking to start investing but am a bit confused about asset protection via LLC yet using my own funds and credit to purchase a property.
My plan is to follow the BRRR method
-purchase for cash
-renovate
-rent
-refinance
However, I want my LLC to own the property, not me the person.
Do I lend my LLC money? Again sorry for sounding so ignorant but I don't know where to look for this type of information

Hey @Amaya T.. an LLC is a pass-through entity, so you dont really need to lend it money. As money flows in or out of the LLC from its members, its simply noted as a LLC Contribution or Distribution, it has no real affect on taxation unless partners are involved or income exceeds 250K. Be sure to setup a separate bank account for your LLC, it helps prove to the IRS (if they ever take notice), that your business is legitimate and distinct from personal finance activity.
