I have in the past had rentals under an LLC (and you don't need an atty. for this), but later decided adequate ins. coverage was better (for me). Having the house owned by an LLC would limit your exposure to that house, and not other assets outside of the LLC. At least that was my take on the only real benefit. Good luck.... and don't listen to me.... I might not know what I'm talking about

Just make sure you have adequate ins. coverage...
