Creating an LLC (to do or not do)

[Donald Hatter]

I have just under five rental properties and I understand the legal benefits of creating an LLC (married to a lawyer). I am wondering for those who have an LLC for their rental properties if they are purchasing properties with the LLC or if they are purchasing under their name and then transferring to the LLC? Eager if it is any easier or better to purchase directly under the LLC. Really asking those who have a limited number of properties.
