Recent ordinanced were passed that made it difficult to get such a license IF you're not using the main property as your primary residence. 

My worry is that is I commingle the banking activities and the 2 rentals I have in my name with the LLC I have potentially negated the benefit of creating the LLC if/when I am sued down the road.I think this must be something others have come across and I would really appreciate suggestions on making this a bit simpler.  

Thanks @Jiva Segaran are you mainly looking down the south shore or do you have any interest up this way?

@Joshua Smith The deal is the main factor.

You could potentially be liable as an individual, without the protection of a corporation/LLC, and without the benefit of insurance coverage.  

Mainly because of the numbers I'm getting in my analysis of different properties.

Main reason is we would like to buy a house given the growing family but need to make sure we have enough equity in it from the rehab to resell again within a year (or just over) should we have to move (which is a real possibility).

Now the firms they deal with don't have a main focus on real estate.

I won't need the LLC anymore, and it seems to me the LLC would offer the buyer the following benefits:- Seemless transfer from the standpoint of the tenants.

I imagine I'll install electric stove - but that's mainly because two duplex's in our neighborhood caught fire because the tenant didn't get the stop top shut off.
