Tenant about to sign lease, but who's the landlord?
I am a new RE investor (9 months now) and have acquired 4 properties. I made one LLC. My first two properties are rented and I am in the process of renting the 3rd. All have been bought in my name (not LLC). I do not want the tenants to know I am the property owner (I am acting as a property manager). For the first property's lease, I used my LLC as the landlord and am in the process of putting that property into my LLC.
My question is: For this current property lease, do I sign MY name as landlord (the tenants already know I am the owner of this one), or do I write in the same LLC as my other properties? My concern going forward is I don't want my name on the leases, but I haven't decided whether to get separate LLCs for each property (or put several properties in one LLC) or put each property in land trusts .
Thank you in advance for a quick response (the tenants are waiting on the lease now).
