Selling Real Estate vs. Selling an LLC

Are there any tax benefits to doing fix n flips where you sell the LLC that the property is held in vs. selling the actual real estate?

Example: Purchase and rehab a house in an LLC, then sell the LLC.

Let's say I flip 10 houses in a year, is there a tax benefit if I sell the LLC's or the real estate?

Thanks for your input,

Aaron

Most investors won't want your LLC, since they can't be sure what potential liabilities might be out there.
