Question for those corporate lawyers in the house.

If someone wanted to form an investment vehicle with a friend or family member solely for the purpose of acquiring assets (be it real estate, equities, etc.) what would make more sense, an LLC or LLP, and why?

Thanks.

LLC might be credited if your role would be more than passive. If you buy an apartment building and do some of the legwork, etc.

IANAL

LLC gives you some measure of liability protection. Might be nice if you could conceivably be sued, kinda worthless if you're just holding an interest.

LLP has this same feature. I'm still trying to figure out the advantages/disadvantages between one or the other.

they're both the same bro. they use the same tax form, can both elect S-corp status, and give you liability protection. i think LLC is slightly simpler and has lower audit risk.

LLPs and LLCs are both pass-through entities that provide this same function while simultaneously limiting liability in a way that a C corp does not. This is terrible advice.

depends on how your state's entity and tax laws are set up.

some states impose taxes on an LLC's gross income which make the structure less efficient. however the upside of an LLC is limited liability for everybody, including the manager.

in an LLP there might not be limited liability for the GP. also LLPs are not recognized by every state and some reserve it for professional associations only.

might think about a simple limited partnership. Delaware LPs are the most common investment entities, but the GP has unlimited liability. you can set up a DE LLC to be the GP to shield yourself, but that's another entity you have to pay fees for annually.

If you were investing with one other person, why THE FUCK would you set up an LP with your single-member LLC as the GP?
