Rental Property under LLC?

[John Miller]

I am a newbie with Real Estate investing but have always wanted to get into rental properties. Single family to multi-family to commercial. I was wondering if it is wise to keep rental properties under an LLC or just a personal account?

Any other advice on how to get started would be great! I am a contractor so fixing up properties I can do myself and determine those prices quickly and easily. 

I plan to purchase my first one by the end of this year/ beginning of next year.
