If it is just for one or two deals than I would say this would just complicate things further.

Code §92.0563(a).The tenant may also obtain other judicial remedies such as an order that directs the landlord to repair and an order that reduces the rent.

I have come across a few strategies: Series LLC - It's an LLC but each property goes into it's own "series" or child LLC - Only a few states have these and I've heard that they aren't "proven in court" - they don't have a lot of precedents - other than that, they seem ideal.Putting each property into a Real Estate Privacy Trust (AKA Land Trust) and making the beneficiary the LLC - there isn't a lot of info on these (pros & cons) It doesn't seem common and I can't find a lot of unbiased infoCreating a separate LLC for each property - this seems like a lot of overhead and complication and renewal feesNot doing an LLC and instead just get an umbrella insurance policy - I'm concerned that they are cheap because they rarely pay out.I'm looking for thoughts, opinions, and suggestions on the above strategies - OR If you have another strategy, I'd love to hear about it!

@Dwayne Jelks Jr.Hey Dwayne, if you check out the judicial website you can see when and where the live auctions will be.

It's a little complicated because one cannot BROKER a deal without a broker's license.

It’s about 120 to change locks and keys unless it’s something extremely complicated

Real estate is not a complicated business...just takes daily discipline/persistence.No savings but good salary - Stop spending and start saving.Decent size 401k - Borrow from your 401k.Passion/motivation - Motivation is garbage (short-lived).

As a newbie, and especially for out-of-state, your plate is going to be full learning all sorts of stuff and an LLC is just going to complicate it and not really offer any benefits for doing so.

It's not common practice in my area and like @Gregory Hiban was getting at, I feel it's only going to cause more complications with getting your vacancy filled. 

Stephanie:You picked a complicated project as a first investment.
