The main issue is If you ever get sued for your rentals or  by any other creditors, court might take this action as commingling of the personal and LLC's fund and rule that you are "piercing the corporate veil." 

Can they pierce the corporate veil?

I am always looking to buy deals in Pierce and Thurston Counties.

you do realize that just because you formed the LLC to limit your liability, you still need to run the LLC like an actual business. if you find yourself in court hoping to be shielded by an LLC, realize they will "pierce the corporate veil" as most ppl like to say, if you didn't actual keep meeting minutes and have all the neccessary docs.it's not that easy to escape liability. you need to work at it.

You guys closed quickly on Pierce Street.

At least as someone who had a few LLCs and S-Corps, I found the LLCs are easy to pierce....

If I have an LLC in which I conduct my business, how do I actually take profits out of that LLC for personal use (i.e. pay myself) w/o piercing the corporate veil and losing my liability protection?

This means that you will probably need to pay registration and filing fees in at least 2 states if you don’t buy CA property as a CA resident.Any lawsuits should be limited to the assets of the LLC and not your personal assets (assuming you run the LLC appropriately and the corporate veil is not pierced, some debate as to SMLLC).

As @Chris Seveney mentions LLC can be pierced by the courts and you can be help personally reposnsible for LLCs debts.

Wouldn't that be pretty easy to pierce due to the individual would be personally liable for breach of contract, creditor issues or negligence?
