As to what's best is to be decided by you personally as each individual's situation is different and is influenced by your time commitment/money/tax implications/long term goals. 

I've done some research into the tax implications and have seen that it can get tricky/complex very fast, but that basically you can prorate the portion of your house that you are renting and treat that as a rental property while treating the other portion as a personal home.My concern is that I haven't began renting/advertising to rent out the other portion of my house yet, so my "rental income" is zero for 2022. 

I've been debating about getting my RE license, but don't feel like I fully understand all of the implications of doing that yet.

To quote @Jenifer Levini:It really points out why decisions that are made prior to putting a penny into the process have implications for the long-term cash flow.

Payments that you make normally fall into one of 3 buckets100% of the payment can be factored in somewhere on the returnPartial payment can be factored somewhere on the return0% of the payment can be factored in somewhere on the returnHouse-hacking also has considerable tax implications in the event that you want to sell this property.You can potentially defer a portion or all of the gain on the investment property with 1031 exclusion.You can potentially exclude a portion or all of the gain on the personal residence with section 121 exclusion

I am still learning so be kind if I am way off basis  :) Tax implications are typically not included in the cash flow number -- they are figured below the cash flow line. 

They do not "sell" the asset to the LLC they gift it/give it (which could have tax implications), but as noted in this and other posts, the LLC is not separate.
