Advice on turning first home into rental

[Parker Doyle]

Hey BP community,

I am turning my first home into my first rental property. I had a few questions I’m having trouble figuring out that I would really appreciate any insight on.

1)how do I structure this in a way that I am protected(assuming an LLC would do this) but I can also help my personal credit

2)how would you go about getting a loan to move while giving time to look for a renter as we’re on a tight budget

Thank you for any advice anyone can provide in advance!
