1st property. Starting an LLC for property management?

[Kolton Miller]

Hello! My wife and I are under contract on a second home, and we plan to rent our current house out. We are excited to start this journey. We plan on managing the rental ourselves. I am curious if we should start an LLC? We would not transfer the property to the LLC, we would remain the sole proprietors. However, should we start an LLC to help manage the rental. For example, open a business bank account, have a designated LLC email?
