A popular topic I hear a lot about is LLCs. It’s talked about all over BiggerPockets and my YouTube channel. People pose questions like, “Should I set up an LLC? What Should I name my LLC? In what state should I set up my LLC?” …Just to list a few.

People think of the LLC as overly complex. But in reality, it’s not. I’m going to boil it down for you in a step-by-step process —as well as a crash course on what an LLC is.

Disclaimer alert! I’m not an attorney and I’m not a CPA (nor is BiggerPockets). I’m just a real estate investor dude, and the advice I’m giving you is my personal opinion on LLCs based on my own experience.

Before we dive into the steps, let me break down what an LLC is.
