Legal Question in Business Law in Texas

What is the best way to own rental properties? I was told to own the rental properties in a LLC, and to establish the LLCs in Nevada. This is because of paying less taxes in an LLC and it is very difficult to pierce the corportate veil in Nevada in case of a lawsuit.
