It's best to review with a good RE attorney, potentially a business attorney, and your tax professional to make sure you're set up to avoid mistakes along the way.Also, discuss the ramifications of how it works with your lender (if there will be one) as not all lenders and loan programs are created equal when dealing with LLC's.

I highly suggest teaming up with a broker who you'd want to build a relationship with and truly understands the ins and outs of different underwriting guidelines.
