@Robin CastilloLLCs are useful for legal protection, but they require separate tax filing, typically cost several hundred dollars to create, and most non-commercial lenders will not lend to LLCs.Commercial lenders will lend to LLCs, but their interest rates are significantly higher and they require collateral that regular lenders don't.I would not create a LLC specifically due to the issues in getting a traditional mortgage it will likely cause.One potential route though, is to get a traditional mortgage in your name and then assume the loan after a 6mo "seasoning" period with your LLC.

One last thing when looking into 5 plus units you will be in the commercial lending space.

With over 20 years in real estate investing, property management, and lending in the Tampa Bay area, I highly recommend Tampa, Florida, for your US investments.

Every so often I have heard people say they have found tax lien/deed lending, but I think that is pretty rare and not widely available.   

I'm looking to apply these skills to lending/mortgage banking, investment/property management, acquisitions or development. 

The American Institute of CPA's (AICPA) is advising employers to file the Beneficial Owner Information (BOI).

Best to structure and treat as if a property management company from the start.Think like an institutional lender/servicer.
