What Are the Steps to Buying Property in NYC Through an LLC?

The search, offer submission, negotiation and closing process will be identical to the steps to buying a condo in NYC except for a few additional steps you’ll need to take to set up the LLC.

It can actually be quite affordable to form a Limited Liability Company in the state of New York. You should get started by reading the Department of State’s guide to forming a LLC. From there, you can easily file online in under 10 minutes for a nominal fee of $200, payable by credit card.

You’ll want to be careful about putting your personal information anywhere on this form if privacy is a concern for you. The contact information you list for the Service of Process section will be listed on the Department of State’s public database and indexed by a plethora of third party websites, so many business owners instead put the name and address of their registered agent instead. A registered agent can be had for as cheap as $50 a year. It’s important to have one so you can avoid having a personal address listed in a public database.

Do I Need an Operating Agreement When Buying Property Through an LLC in NYC?

You do not need an operating agreement if you are the sole owner of an LLC. In this case, the LLC is classified as a single-member LLC by the IRS and disregarded for tax purposes.

You will need an operating agreement if you have partners in the LLC.

You do not need to file the operating agreement with the government, and the law is silent on consequences for not having an operating agreement in place. However, if you do have partners it is a wise decision to have an operating agreement in place to clearly detail the relationship and ownership between the partners.
