Series LLC in VA

[Robert Blazer IV]

I've been encouraged to look into putting my future properties in a Series LLC since I am located in VA. Are there any pros/cons to forming a Series LLC rather than multiple individual LLCs for each property? Also, should I be forming this LLC prior to acquiring any properties, or should it be done after the fact? My personal protection is something I seem to be hung up on (perhaps some analysis paralysis is in play), so really ANY information regarding these options would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
