LLC options for California?

[Taylor McClung]

Hello BP,

Has anyone had experience with setting up cost-effective LLCs in California? 

I have two multi-family properties (4+2) that have appreciated to the point where I'm concerned someone might sue me one day and get a decent settlement. To avoid that as well as set up LLCs for partnerships in the near-future, I'm searching for a cost-effective way to make an LLC a viable option. Any input is greatly appreciated.
