Help with first 27 unit apartment complex

[David Miller]

I currently have one LLC for buying and rehabbing single family homes throughout the US. I am in the process of putting in an offer on an apartment complex that is in a different state then my current residence. I'm not sure what to buy this with, and I do not want to use my LLC for flipping residential homes. Just curious what other people recommend or have done in the past for larger buildings like this one. I'm not sure if setting up a separate LLC in the state the complex is in or some sort of trust would be a better choice. Any advice or past experience would be greatly appreciated.
