So if the landlord only owns one four-plex, or two duplexes, or a single and triplex, and the landlord is a natural person (not a corporation or partnership), or the landlord is an LLC in which all members are natural persons (no corporate or partnership members in the LLC), the landlord can still require two month’s rent as security deposit.So for those CA investors who invest in properties with four rentals or less, and place each rental property into its own LLC, and the LLC members are all natural persons, those investors can continue to require two month’s rent as security deposit.

Simple answer, yes these are all normal things to utilize.However, as to how they are used - that will depend entirely on where you are going and what you are trying to accomplish.For tax purposes, given it is generally a bad idea to use an S-Corp or C-Corp for holding real estate, any other tax structure will have absolutely no difference from one another - IE an LLC taxed as a partnership, an LLC wholly owned by you and disregarded for tax purposes, owning directly, or owning through a revocable trust - all of these have the exact same tax result at the end of the day.
