Meaning they want the protection of the LLC but they also want the rates that Fannie Mae can give them compared to portfolio or commercial.

Hi Everyone,We have been planning to move the ownership of our rental property into our LLC for tax reasons and to protect our personal assets.

Public records are online in most states....google up the county Property Appraiser, Land Tecords, whatever it is called there.

I just wanted to chat with someone, not on a public forum, about what I can and can’t do, what restrictions I can place…to get the best possible tenant into my freshly remodeled house.Lastly, I obviously want to maximize my return.  

An LLC is a good vehicle for many businesses, it might be applicable to RE, I know it's been done quite a bit.Consult with a Lawyer to make sure everyone is protected and you are covered for these cases. 

I recently reviewed a list from a local township, and it looks like more than real estate taxes are considered with regard to tax liens (e.g. water/sewer, public utilities).  

@Ryan P. 1) I would refrain from publicizing how much money you have to invest2) I second what @Ian Ippolito recommended in terms of looking into various strategies3) prior to investing into anything, educate yourself and talk to others that have invested in the niches you're considering to ensure these are the best options for you4) food for thought, if you keep your house in Miami as a rental for some time, you can then sell it as an investment property and exchange it (1031) and buy into DST.Best of luck!

It’s not a lot of security as between your second position and the first, there isn’t much equity protecting a default 

You will need to balance the legal protection benefits of an LLC (an attorney's question) against the cost, because CA will make you pay $800/yr just for having the LLC.
