Direct answer

Form first LLC at property #2 or first $500k equity; use one LLC per 3–5 properties or Series LLC at scale.

Expanded explanation

Cost-benefit: single LLC ~$300/yr; Series LLC slightly more but enables internal segregation. WY/NV/DE remain top choices for charging-order strength.

Examples

  • Wyoming Series LLC with 4 cells holding 12 SFRs.
