From a tax standpoint, rental income and deductions (depreciation, repairs, etc.) still pass through to your personal tax return if the LLC is treated as a disregarded entity or partnership.Insurance Adjustments: Once the entire home becomes a rental, you'll need a landlord insurance policy, which usually costs more than homeowner’s insurance.

I'm trying to find the benefits, if any, for rehabbers but don't seem to be having much luck. 

Start a bit low to build reviews, then adjust as needed.

Planning on 25% down and a conventional loan for the rest, near 7%Basically none of the deals cash flow, much less get anywhere near a CoC of 10% I can sort of rationalize it if it at least pays for itself (appreciation/tax benefits), but unless I can either get the NOI way up or the sale price way down why wouldn't I invest the cash in the market?

Make sure you're acquiring sound investments and let the tax benefit be the cherry on top.

I think engaging an attorney who specializes in this area is a must.With all that being said, I think it would be good to take her off title so you can fully depreciate the property, simplify the reporting, and you can get more benefit from ownership in the property than she can (in most cases).

Quote from @Michael Smythe: @Carissa Atendido here's some info that may require you to adjust your expectations.The Real Estate Crash of 2008-2010 caused real estate prices to crash across the country - but didn't affect rent amounts.

There are significant tax benefits if this was to be a STR even if you used it for A few personal days. 

My goals are to diversify my portfolio, take advantage of the tax benefits of having a mortgage, and invest in a property with long-term appreciation potential.Given my busy schedule, I’m hoping to take a more hands-off approach by working with a trusted local team.

No, it’s not advantageous you’d be borrowing money just to pay it back, which adds interest and fees with no real benefit.
