…how would an LLC help my investment properties?
Forming a limited liability company (LLC) is a great way for any property owner investing in real estate to keep their personal assets protected. As a client of 208.properties Management Group or Realty Group we are here and ready to help you through the process.
Why form an LLC in Idaho?
With your properties under the umbrella of an LLC, your personal assets including your home, bank accounts, and other investments are protected in case of a lawsuit or legal action associated with rental property. Any other rental properties you own outside of the LLC will also be kept separate and secure from any legal action against the LLC. These protections are vital for any Idaho real estate investor looking to build their portfolio.
Additionally, forming an LLC may make you eligible for a tax deduction of up to 20%. You’ll be able to file your LLC income on your personal taxes for tax savings with pass-through taxation. As a pass-through entity, an LLC allows earnings and income to ‘pass-through’ as individual income for members and investors. Then, tax deductions of up to 20% can apply. Please consult a tax professional to determine your eligibility.
Forming an LLC in Idaho gives you the protections of a corporation without the taxes and formalities of one. With a properly formed and maintained LLC, the personal assets of all members will be separated from the debts and obligations of the LLC. All you need is a state-registered agent.
That’s where 208.properties comes in.

why would i want to file a quitclaim on my rental property?
Quitclaim deeds are commonly used to transfer property without an exchange of money in a low-risk transaction. This usually occurs when ownership of a property is moving between family members or when a property owner establishes an LLC and wants ownership of the property under the business entity.
NOTE- quitclaim deed affects ownership and the name on the deed, not the mortgage.
Because quitclaim deeds expose the grantee to certain risks, they are most often used between family members and where there is no exchange of money. Quitclaims are not typically used in situations where the property involved has an outstanding mortgage. After all, it would be difficult for many grantors to pay off a mortgage without proceeds from the sale of the property.
However, quitclaim deeds are still used in some instances in which the grantor has a mortgage. If this is the case, the grantor remains liable for the mortgage, even after ownership has been transferred away from them. Quitclaim deeds will transfer a title but will not affect mortgages.
In other instances, a quitclaim can force the immediate repayment of the entire mortgage. If a quitclaim occurs on a property under an active mortgage with a “due-on-sale” clause, the entire mortgage will become due as soon as the title is transferred. Even though no sale has occurred, the transfer of ownership will still invoke the “due-on-sale” clause.
Always consult with your mortgage lender or servicer prior to filing if you are considering quitclaiming any investment or rental property.
