“LLCs, Liability & Licensing — Structuring Your Real Estate Business the Right Way”
I. WHO Needs an LLC
- Agents earning consistent commissions
- Real estate investors & flippers
- Property managers and leasing agents
II. WHAT an LLC Does
- Protects personal assets from business liabilities
- Establishes a formal business identity
- Opens tax optimization opportunities (S-Corp election, write-offs)
III. UNDERSTANDING ENTITY TYPES
🔹 Broker-Sponsored Entity
- TREC-registered entity sponsored by a broker
- Can receive real estate commissions directly
- Used for branding, liability protection, and tax separation
🔹 Business License Entity
- Registered LLC with the Secretary of State and IRS
- Can hold assets, investments, and other income streams
- Cannot receive real estate commissions unless sponsored
- Ideal for managing rentals, flips, or general business expenses
IV. SERIES LLCs
- Definition and Texas rules
- Ideal for investors or those with multiple rental properties
- Each “series” acts as a separate entity under one master LLC
- Warning: banking and insurance can get tricky—plan before you file
V. WHAT NOT TO DO
- Don’t assume your LLC exists until you have a Certificate of Formation
- Don’t transfer property with a mortgage into an LLC without checking for due-on-transfer clauses
- Don’t commingle funds
- Don’t skip trademarking your brand
- Don’t forget to file annual reports or renew state registration
- Don’t ignore your accountant—LLCs are not “set it and forget it”
VIII. WHEN & WHERE to File
- File in the state where you primarily conduct business
- Name availability check
- EIN application
- Draft an Operating Agreement—even for single-member LLCs
VI. HOW to Protect the Veil
- Maintain separate bank accounts
- Keep accounting clean—no personal expenses
- Always identify your LLC in contracts, signage, and marketing
- Follow your Operating Agreement
- Conduct annual meetings or document major decisions
VII. WHAT HAPPENS IF…
- Divorce or partner dispute
- Member changes
- Death or dissolution
- Selling/transferring an LLC interest
VIII. RESOURCES
- Texas Secretary of State
- Operating Agreement templates
- IRS EIN portal
- Recommend CPA or attorney review for setup
