LLC before first real state investment property?

[Maria McCambridge]

My husband and I are thinking about buying our first investment property and we're wondering if we should set up an LLC before we buy the first residential property. We want to make sure all related expenses are properly tracked as part of our new business, taxed are filled accordingly. And we're not sure if the LLC makes it easier to do so or if that's not really relevant

Thank you for any advise to these newbies
