Real Estate Provides Income from at least 3 Sources?
Do you know?
Capital Appreciation
(Property values typically increase over time)
Paying down the Mortgage
(Steady Increase in equity)
Income from Operations
(Simply Rents minus Expenses)

Maintain your privacy. When you become a member of one of our LLCs, the LLCs name is listed in public records as the owner of the property. Most of the members (owners) of the LLC can remain private.
Your name does not have to show up as owner in public records?
Caveat - Companies do need to provide the name of the registered agent and company officers to the Secretary of State which does becomes public information. However, as a member of one of Denbar's LLCs we do not list our investor members names.
Spoiler Alert - You can't sell your apartment property here and reinvest it in your dream house in Jamaica. (Believe me, we have tried!) The IRS does not consider US property and foreign property as "like-kind".
You have to reinvest the proceeds from your sale in "like-kind" property of equal or higher value. But still not a bad way to grow your portfolio. "Like-kind" is pretty much any investment property. So for example, we sold a couple of apartment buildings and rolled it into a gas station.
You can defer tax on capital gains when you sell a property?
