Christine Brown Best Corporate Structure?

I see some investors who have dozens of properties opt for more than one property per LLC because 1 LLC/property becomes cumbersome and these investors can absorb the loss of 2-3 properties more easily than investors with fewer properties.As for parent companies, an LLC setup in WY, NV, or DE, disregarded (or partnership) is often ideal because these states provide robust protections to prevent personal liabilities from exposing the LLCs/assets under the holding LLC and can also help provide a barrier of anonymity/privacy.Lastly, if an LLC is sued and the assets of the LLC are exhausted by the judgement, then generally the buck stops there, they cannot go after the assets of the owners of the LLC.

Laurie Williamson Should I list 1 week before I go on vacation, or wait til after I get back?
31 May 2025 | 10 replies
Pros of listing today:- I would have five days available for in-person showings this week- I could possibly get it rented sooner- While I'm out of town, people could still look at the listing, and schedule showings for the following week- I could hit the ground running when I get back, and get it going sooner- $ Cons of listing today:- After 5 days of availability, I'll be out of town for 9 days, and unable to physically show it until I get back.
