I have 1 rental in Fl, and I am planning to buy 1-2 in 2021, so my question is at what point should I open an LLC? Also If I open an LLC I will no longer be eligible for 30 years fixed rates and lower rates correct? who is the best person to ask which type of LLC to open? CPA ? lawyer ?

Should I ask these questions to a CPA or a lawyer? 

Thanks, 

Issay

There is some language from Fannie Mae in the following passage of D1-4.1-02

a limited liability company (LLC), provided that

  • the mortgage loan was purchased or securitized by Fannie Mae on or after June 1, 2016, and
  • the LLC is controlled by the original borrower or the original borrower owns a majority interest in the LLC, and if the transfer results in a permitted change of occupancy type to an investment property, such change does not violate the security instrument (for example, the 12 month occupancy requirement for a principal residence).

    The servicer must notify the borrower that a property transferred to an LLC must be transferred back to a natural person prior to any subsequent refinance application in order to meet Fannie Mae’s Selling Guide underwriting requirements.

It doesn't seem like you can close in an LLC, but you can possibly transfer it over immediately after the close.
