This is my personal opinion, which probably won't be popular.If you are worried about the cost of hiring an attorney to create a proper operating agreement for your LLC, you probably don't need an LLC, and if you choose to use an online site to create an LLC, you probably get the protection you paid for.

My number one piece of advice is finding a group that you can attend online or in person to keep you motivated and accountable to your goals. 

I had belatedly realized that FHA goes off personal credit and therefore I couldn't use the LLC for it.
