Setting up an LLC is more than just an accounting or legal structure. it is and operating platform and as such investors need to follow the rules otherwise the LLC will not do much to protect you.I am not advocating not using a LLC structure only that if you are doing so to protect yourself from various liabilities, you need to do a lot more that just file an incorporation document.

Everything from:(1) contract a property manager, (2) analyze lenders apples-to-apples, (3) engage your contractor (and I've even included a document for your contractor to use to provide you itemized bids on work - no more guessing what you are paying for), (4) a lease agreement, (5) a "checklist" of business incorporation items to launch your real estate LLC and (7) even a BRRRR deal analysis spreadsheet so you can know right away if you'll be making a great deal.These legal docs are enforceable in all States.
