Hello all,Some friends and I are looking to start an LLC to begin investing in rental properties.

Hi Guys,I've been trying to find this answer online and was wondering if I create an LLC and it's only my wife and I as members 50/50 is that considered a single member LLC or a multi member? 

I was trying to find this online but is there any risk of having our trust own the LLC's for our investment properties?

Do you guys do the buy and reno in one LLC (S-corp) and then transfer to another LLC (PASSIVE) for rental income?
