If you have every played monopoly you understand what is happening in the US: towards the end of the game most assets are owned by one player and everyone else pays.

@Erick Escalante I'd protect that 70% equity!

An LLC helps protect your personal assets, simplifies tax tracking, and creates a professional foundation for your growing real estate business.

I find the best protection is screening tenants and the people who work for you.

How did you structure the deals (roles, profit splits, risk, and protections)?

New construction has the biggest margins and it's where all the big players are active right now!

If you’re worried about protection, you can always keep earnest money low and make sure your offer clearly states you can walk during DD for any reason and keep it.

Tax & Legal ConsiderationsDepreciation Recapture & Capital Gains: Since both properties have been held 20+ years, any cash-out won’t trigger capital gains, but if you sell, consider tax implications.LLC / Holding Structure: If you plan to scale, consider holding new properties under an LLC for liability protection.5.

If nothing is found, that documentation protects you and helps set expectations with the tenant.
