Personal Property for lease. Should it be under landlord name or LLC name?

Question

I have rentals under LLCs. For this property which is under my personal name, what should I put under the contract. The home is under my name. I try to avoid as much as possible to put my name. I do have a spare LLC which I can use to collect rent. Is it ok if I use a LLC as the landlord to put it under the lease? The deed is under my name.

House is paid off so no mortgage or bank loans.  I prefer to still keep the house on my name for next 3-4 years so no quit claim or deed changes.

I read somewhere you can do a lease between OWNER - LLC company. AND then the LLC can do lease with tenants

Those cap gains rules only apply to primary residence, not investments. I'm not sure how or if a deed transfer could affect those taxes.

I'd sit down for an hour with your attorney and come up with a plan. It'll be money well spent, prevention is always better than paying for the cure.

Best of luck!

What's the point of having the property in your name if you don't live there and there's no loan?

I thought if you sell your poperty within 3-5 years (verify) of your stay, you get capital gains tax benefit. Also doing change of deed void the title insurance also. I may change it in future but for now, all I am trying is to get a tenant onboard at this moment as I just moved.

This is a much more complicated subject than just quit claiming a property. Depending upon how your books, insurance and loan are set up, you may or may not be achieving the thing you want to achieve. I'd invest in a consult with your attorney.
