LLC vs Personal Name

[Tom Bud]

Hey all,

I wanted to get everybodys opinion on my situation. I want to take the hardest step in the real estate investor world; BUY MY FIRST PROPERTY.

I wanted to ask is there any benefits of completing a flip under an LLC vs my personal name in terms of tax? I don't want to spend 50% of my profit in capital gains tax, although I don't think there are any ways around it without a 1031 exchange. I want to take my profit and pay for my whole college tuition.

Thanks,

Tom B.
