Eh. The income would double-taxed. And a 401k plan would have to be administered.
Yes, it would, but you can then deduct an awful lot more..... So, yes, you "made $50K" lets say, you go ahead pay out $17,000 to yourself as an employee with 100% 401K match, and then do a $30,000 top off as an employer match. Sure, you'll pay some taxes as a result, but you've then taken nearly $50,000 and put it into a tax-deferred account. You can also setup a deferred compensation trust and put your money in there, thereby lowering both your tax burden and your long-term income potential. Once its set up and running its all fairly straightforward, and a number of a companies offer small business 401k plans administration for relatively small amounts.

A single-owner LLC is disregareded for tax purposes, with all economics flowing through to the owner. So no, it doesn't make sense now. Were you to buy a new condo, forming an LLC with another individual as a 1% owner might offer some benefits depending on how it is structured, but that is CPA/attorney territory.

The benefit of having an LLC is if it's owned by more than one person, and also to limit liability.

No, that doesn't make any sense at all.
And, no, there's no secret tax advantage you're missing out on. An LLC is a flow-through entity. All you'd do is complicate your tax filings (and make them more expensive).

I own a condo in Arlington that has been renting for the past 7 years.
Is there any benefit to starting an LLC and having the LLC buy the condo? Is there a tax advantage? How could i pursue financing since I don't have the cash to buy it outright? Does this even make sense?
