Should I LLC? Benefits to LLC?

[Christy Holt]

Hello,

I'm wondering if I should create a LLC? Right now I have a few properties, but hope to purchase 4-5 in the next month. I live in California and have properties in Tennessee. The properties I'm getting ready to purchase will be in Georgia. If I do LLC what state should I form my LLC?

I want to protect my personal assets and do what makes the nest business sense. Any suggestions?

Thank you,

Christy
