My recommendation is to start by truly understanding what owning your properties in an LLC will do for you before spending money on entity formation and the subsequent transactional costs.

Does anyone have a good recommendation for a real estate attorney (specializing in business formation and/or asset protection) and CPA in the Bay Area?

While Quickbooks is not the cheapest, it is very intuitive and saves me a little on my accounting bill because they a) don't need to do the bookkeeping, and b) it comes to them in a format they can quickly review and add to my tax filings.I believe, as long as you have fewer than 5 properties, Zillow is a free option to use.  

What is even better is vertical format 4K video and drone footage that can be clipped for phone social media formatting. 

Based on my experience in the Indianapolis area there has been plenty of different payment formats I have seen.

Along with the entity formation expenses if you create the separate management LLC, you will want to have general liability and perhaps even E&O or professional liability coverage.  

Perhaps displaying it in a format like a TD Ameritrade or other investing site.  

I used it primarily because I love the formatting and depth of info the background checks.

While education and information are plentiful in today's age, that doesn't mean it's in a format that best serves you.

LLC formation services like LegalZoom or IncFile are available if you prefer assistance but want to avoid high fees.
