I am not at that stage yet to spend $1000 + travel expenses for a seminar/workshop. 

Look for churches, daycare, elementary schools, dental offices, etc that can be converted to housing.  

I don't think talking and making them accountable will help in any way at this stage.

Unless it is at rough in stage it will be compromised unless this has no interior walls, what's the rest of the story and why does it need overlayed( which is what you are suggesting) or removal which has issues of its own with load walls unless all interior walls, cabinets etc are gone. sounds like a raw deal with water issues or structural issues?

Assuming your LLCs are a sole proprietorship, the accounts should also be in the name of the LLC not your personal name.As others have said, a series LLC is most likely overkill at this stage of the game. 

My husband and I are beginning the stages of learning about real estate.

I'm at the stage in my company's growth that I'm handing off and delegating tasks that I've been doing myself for years.

Know your numbers (costs) ahead of time for each stage of the process (buying, holding, rehabbing, selling).

Just as the current way of business was rooted from about 100 years ago and the MLS took center stage the last few decades, things will change.

Personally, for my life stage, I don't want to live in a multifamily property again.Second, you need to know your market.
