Setting up an LLC for rental properties

[Tiffani T.]

I am fairly new with REI and could use some suggestions and/or advice from those who have had exposure to setting an LLC for your rental properties. I am undergoing the process of purchasing my 3rd home and the thought of setting up an LLC came to mind. An agent also recommended that I must have one. How do I set this up? Or should I even attempt since I will only have 2 rental properties, not 10 (not yet). I understand at some point I will need to widen this discussion with a CPA for tax implications and etc.

 And how?
