Purchasing a duplex, should I use an LLC or my name

[Dexter Cox]

I am a new investor of 2 years this far with 4 doors currently. I acquired the units with conventional loans in my name. As I scale up I am trying to decide on if I should make my next purchase in an LLC or as I have done before. In my name I get the better rate but understand LLC protects from law suits if any.

Any advise on how to approach this?
