On your specific question I'll follow the discussion to see what the attorneys out there will say, but the agent is the real estate license holder, as issued by the state, not their company if they incorporate... so I'd imagine that "pierces the vail".But tangentially there's also the MLS rules for agents. 

An off-the-shelf LLC doesn't really offer protection in half of the cases, it is easily pierced because of outdated clauses.

You need to follow all rules so you don't pierce the corporate veil at which point an LLC won’t provide the liability protection you are looking for.

Any paralegal will pierce it in 5 minutes because he lives in the property.

If I personally guarantee the mortgage, would that be equal to piercing the corporate veil? 

You will need to maintain them and operate them properly to avoid piercing their veil.

LLCs can often be pierced.

Chris -   some lenders  will not let a HELOC in 1st position.....so watch for this …...most lenders  will not do helocs on  investment  property only on primary residences  ( there may be some exceptions )   …..if these have 2 adjacent tax lots - you prob wont find a lender to lend one loan on both  properties  …..I would recommend  checking with the smaller banks and cedit unions in your area ( n Pierce / s King counties ) good luck

You want the operating agreement and other documents so that your LLC is a legitimate business and the corporate veil is not pierced.

I have 5 properties I put into land trusts with personal mortgages and made the LLC the beneficiary, but I heard that has even been pierced before when it comes to liability.
