Yes, I am looking at starting LLC(s) because I'd like to invest in both rental properties and homes.My situation is a little more complicated as I'd like to invest in multiple states. 

If you're going to be living here for 4+ years, I would suggest finding a short term rental (6 month maybe) to get situated and really scope out the different areas.

I'm new to the game and just trying to figure out how to get as much information as possible on the situation.
