While a general rule is that you can purchase property in different states under an LLC formed in another state, you may wish to ensure that the LLC structure and path that you have set-up is appropriate for you and provides the benefits that you are looking for before transferring ownership into those LLCs.

Several years ago, even with high cash flow from a business, I felt fairly locked out of the places I wanted to purchase due to endlessly rising prices and rates that required constant underwriting revisions to the point where it wasn't worth the time expense.
