As long you clearly identify and track the expense per property (and you can do that in Quicken, with properties, categories and subcategories, or in Quickbooks), you’ll not need CCs and accounts per properties.Here are some graphical diagrams to help you on this quest (or confuse you further): - Asset Protection Decision Diagram - to help assess the need for asset protection, and what to implement: https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/CosIorg/file/asset-protection-decision-diagram - Asset Protection Onion Diagram - what, when, and at what cost one should implement in terms of asset protection - https://www.biggerpockets.com/files/user/CosIorg/file/asset-protection-onion-diagram-v2 - What is needed for complete asset protection OR the domains that need to be intersected to find asset protection

Joe,Do you use a Statutory trust to get asset protection or a simple land trust?

I know a couple guys in my home town that served 5+ years in a federal prison for this.If you're moving ownership into a land trust that you also control and have no intention of defaulting or selling and avoiding the payoff, it could for sure be argued as positive fraud, but the intent would more likely be for something like asset protection or some kind of investment arbitrage - which could still be fraud.

Should I get  an LLC before I even start wholesaling (for protection)?

The month to month doesn't really give you, the owner much protection or any.
