Seeking advice on LLC setup with investors

Hi All! 

I am partnering with a friend to start an LLC to purchase multi-units. We will be raising money from friends and are looking at the best way to structure.

I have read an LLC. I have read an LLC with two separate entities. I'm looking for someone who can guide us. Looking to pay someone. Free advice is great, but want to respect everyone's time.

@Joe Brummitt "I have read an LLC with two separate entities."

No tax benefit to using SMLLCs to invest in a MMLLC.  Perhaps a legal benefit.

How are you going to structure everyone's investment?  Equity?  Debt?  A mixture of equity and debt?

All US citizens? LLC taxed as a partnership might be the best way to go. Engage a professional. As you can see, a convo is needed.
