@Desiree Board For your mix of long-term rentals (LTRs), short-term rentals (STRs), and house flipping, an LLC is ideal for liability protection and pass-through taxation.

Since agency loans don't allow you to put the loan in an LLC, ask your wife this. 

I just wanted to see if I could be directed as to how I can get an LLC for my first rental.

@Lauren Ruppert Yes, an LLC can sell a property to your child’s LLC, ideally at fair market value (FMV) to avoid gift tax complications.

Forming an LLC for your rental property can offer liability protection, but no real tax benefit.

You have two unrelated questions here.Question 1My impressions of your LLC setup is that having the ownership change over time is too complex with the potential for misunderstanding. 

You'll probably want to quitclaim it into the LLC. 

Why not take his name off the LLC and put it in your name now while the LLC has $0 of value (or whatever nominal amount your articles of organization or operating agreement say that you contributed)?

Other members of the LLC are not required to sign as PG.This does not show up on credit, and if the LLC is the borrower and property is owned by the LLC, you do not have to disclose this property on a new mortgage application.

Go to your secretary of state to look up the LLC.
