Hi, I am in process of acquiring a new property for sole purpose of airbnb and maybe other platforms. My agent recommended me to do an LLC and have the title under LLC name. I will still get mortgage with my guarantee and get individual rental property mortgage. They are saying it's better for legal protection as I can run the BnB under that entity now and keep accounts clean vs my personal. Any advice on this and is that really useful?

talk to your attorney or an accountant, not randoms on the internet.

I did it but that was a cash deal, its going to be more complex if you are getting a mortgage. Highly recommend to put that wall of protection somewhere...maybe setup a host company LLC ...and make sure you carry your own insurance for damage and loss of income. As the CEOOFFUN said, talk to a legal expert and accountant on this, depending on the state it can be pretty complex.
