Single member LLC and EIN

[Gina Qing]

Hello BP friends, Hope all is well. 

I am going to set up a single member LLC in California and use that entity to hold the title of a property that we will be purchasing. I and my husband will be the only members in the LLC.

To start a single member LLC, do I have to apply for a new EIN for the LLC? I had an impression that it would not be necessary, as a single member LLC is a disregarded entity, and the tax return will be filed under our personal social security numbers.

Also, if the property is in a different state than the one where the LLC is based in, would that be ok?

Thank you very much for your expertise and insights in advance. 

Best Regards,
