Generally it would be more convenient to create the LLC in the state of the property to avoid foreign filing fees, but if you end up holding the property in a land trust (which can be beneficial both for financing, anonymity and estate planning) you don't even need to pay foreign filing fees [because it is the land trust conducting business in that state rather than the LLC.]If this is your first time investing across state lines the best bet would be to connect with and experienced attorney and CPA to discuss your options and find what fits your portfolio the best.

I personally work with land trusts on all the properties I own because they can also offer anonymity and help you roll them into your future estate plan very easily.
