I reside in Texas and now operate a single member LLC (married) for my Texas real estate license. I’m an active real estate investor for my properties in California and colorado, and wondering if I should transfer those properties to my LLC as a way of documenting all the properties I’m active in as a single entity for my 750 logged hours. Does that matter? Or make sense?

To clarify, What tax entity is the LLC?
(S-Corp., Sole Proprietorship schedule C ?)
Sole Proprietorship/single member
Yes, the 750 hours would indicate you are a real estate professional in tax terms. You are considered to be a real estate professional (i.e., in a real property trade or business) if:
A 'real property trade or business' means any real property development, redevelopment, construction, reconstruction, acquisition, conversion, or rental operation, management, leasing, or brokerage trade or business.
This is still reported on Schedule E and answer the question 'I spend more than 750 hours a year actively involved in real estate (sales, management, etc) and I have complete records for this time.' This will eliminate passive activity limitations.
This will be reported on your personal tax return since you have a single member limited liability company (SMLLC).
