Hey everyone,I'm about to do my first out of state investment and I was wondering if it would make sense to set up an LLC for my first property or not.It's more the tax benefits of the LLC rather than the liability protection (that can be achieved also by an umbrella policy, at least for the first property).My main question is if, besides the initial costs of setting up the LLC, would I get the same mortgage interest rate as a non-occupant owner that I would get getting the loan under the LLC?

The constraint here is that you'll need to achieve a substantial amount of equity in that year. 

What do you want to achieve from investment?

I work as hard as I can for as long as I can to achieve the results that I want to achieve.I know this is now what you want to hear but you should choose something else to do because real estate is not a lazy man's game.  

He's a realtor and a coach for people looking to house hack and achieve financial independence via real estate... and he's located in Austin!

So far, I've been able to achieve a near 100% occupancy with that strategy. 

Weused a simple "never split the difference" tactic by asking for more than what we want to achieve from the negotiation. 

Cash flow isn't the primary motivator for most investors out here, but there are strategies to achieve better than average returns out here (rent by room, Airbnb, etc). 

I’d like to slowly grow a portfolio over time to achieve financial freedom.

@Diego Carranza AnglarillYou could also partner with a US person to achieve those interest rates much sooner.
