LLC on owner-occupied rental property

Hello! I have 2 questions regarding LLC's, and I can't find the answer on Google or BP.

1) I rent the spare bedrooms out of my personal residence. For this reason, is it advantageous to put my house into an LLC? Do the pros/cons differ since I run a business out of my home?

2) If I were to place my home into an LLC, would that debt still factor into my DTI ratio?

TIA!

    No tax advantage for an LLC in your case.

    There could be some legal reason, but I doubt so. The whole premise of legal protection is to separate assets, but here your assets are one indivisible property. This one is for attorneys, and I'm not one.
