@Jaysen Medhurst thanks for the input, that is the way I was leaning. Especially since it helps to keep everything simpler when I start drinking from the firehose with my first one 

Hey Everyone,

I am about 6 months out from starting the actual process of hunting down my first deal. I am renting for another 12 months. I would ideally like my first property to be a house hack (looking for a 2-4 unit building to stay in the residential space and not get into commercial just yet). After reading Garrett Sutton's book "Start Your Own Corporation" it seems like an LLC would be the best way to protect myself from lawsuits and situations of that nature. That being said, I know it can be more difficult to obtain a loan with a business that does not have a financial history. What are your thoughts here?

Thanks,

Tom Houpt
