AIUI LLCs for rental properties have very little protective power in court, and are easily shredded by plaintiffs' attorneys. If you thought that you were getting some degree of legal protection from holding your small multifamily in an LLC- you're probably not.

For example- do you have a mortgage? Almost certainly in your name, you have to be very large to receive a mortgage as a corporation. If you're holding a property in an LLC but the mortgage in your name, that's classic piercing the corporate veil and will take an attorney about 10 minutes to shred that in court

Why? Same cash flow it just goes to mortgage you own instead of landlords mortgage + their profit margin. It would actually be cheaper for current renters because of this.

Not everyone who rents currently wants to buy or is in a position to buy.
