Real Estate Agent and Investor - Forming 1 LLC?

[Alan Daniels]

Good Morning BP!  I hope everyone's year has started off strong.

I am a new Real Estate Agent and future investor (no deals as of yet - just offers) in the South Atlanta market. My immediate goals are 2 transactions as a Realtor by May and 1 flip that I can get on the market by May. I'm starting to push out some marketing related to both. Can any Realtors advise if they have formed an LLC for both investing and Realtor businesses and how they structured that, or if it has to be seperate. I need an LLC for potential business loans to invest and would be nice for marketing purposes; As a Realtor, I'm not as concerned about having an LLC, but would be nice to "kill 2 birds with one stone" from a marketing standpoint. I'd love to be able to say "Call ABC company if you need to sell for top dollar, sell quickly, or looking to buy your next property; somewhat marketing as a Real Estate Consultant (which we all are) approach, as opposed to just Agent services or just Investing services.

Any/all thoughts are welcomed - good, bad and indifferent.  I truly appreciate the support and perspective.

Cheers,

Alan
