Go to Louisiana’s Secretary of State website. Register your business. 105 bucks and takes 15 minutes. Transfer title to llc at title attorney office. You can do the bank account after you set up the llc if you want the account in the business name. You may want to learn how to type first.

1) Go to Sec of State website and fill out information needed to form LLC
2) Apply for EIN with the IRS
3) Take your EIN letter, and your certificate from the state (may take a few days, they can usually e-mail or fax it to you if you call them) and go to a bank, set up account
4) Transfer money into LLC bank account
5) Buy house
6) Use the LLC - have the rent checks deposited into it, and pay all expenses out of it. If there isn't enough money in the LLC account to pay bills, deposit more personal money.

Important thing is to actually use the LLC. The whole point of an LLC with rentals is to protect your other assets in the event something goes tits up with the rental. If you don't actually use the LLC to handle operations, a good plaintiff attorney will blow the LLC up and you will lose your asset protection.

Wouldn’t you have to refinance with a commercial (non-personal home) loan? Or am I mistaken

Lazy me. Didn’t fully comprehend. Carry on.

Sounds like the OP hasn't bought the property yet, and is paying cash.
