My understanding is that with multiple rental properties you want an LLC for each property (using the street name for instance) and all of them held by an umbrella LLC. My questions about this are:
1. Can you wait to form the umbrella LLC until after you have created several individual property LLCs?
2. In New York State, what is the best way to go about rental property LLC creation - legalzoom, attorney, or self apply?
3. With multiple properties, do you have to have a separate bank account for each one? I would go with series LLC but that is apparently not an option in New York State.
Any recommended reading would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The umbrella can be made at anytime as long as you understand it cost you an additional x dollars to file papers with the state to do llc member changes. Along with those changes, you would also had to change your property insurance policey to add your umbrella company as an additional insurer once it is created.
2. To what I am aware of, in the state of NY, holding properties under an llc could be a bad idea. The reason for it is because once you form an llc, you also have to run a newspaper ad with a major paper for a week to make it an official company. I heard the advertising cost could run as much as 2+k. Imagine spending that for every llc you create.
Best thing to do is talk to an attorney that specializes in creating llc's for holding properties in ny. If you don't get anywhere with it, you may also want to consider looking into holding the properties under a trust.
3. Yes, each property has their own bank account with tax id's and everything. I am not familar with series llc to help.
