Taking ownership of prop, want to use LLC which doesn't exist yet

[Don Ireland]

My intention has always been to put each property in an LLC. But the LLC doesn't exist yet.

For those who use LLCs for their properties, how do you go about this? Its pretty common to make the property address be the name of the LLC and that was my plan but that involves not creating the LLC until at least after FINDING the property.

I don't even have a lawyer yet. I suppose I could use the boilerplate forms to create the LLC and have the (eventual) attorney create a an operating agreement. MO doesn't require filing the actual operating agreement - - just the Articles of Organization.
