Do I Create An LLC or No?

[Michael Pilolla]

Hello Hello BP Peeps,

As I get my real estate investing going, I need to know, do I create an LLC or not? I live in California but buy and rent in Oregon. Would I create an LLC in Oregon or Cali? I plan on buying multiple properties over the next few years so I just want to be sure I'm doing the right thing. Also, does it make sense to work with a CPA who specializes in real estate investing in person or is it ok if everything is virtual?

Thanks in advance for any and all help!
