The HOA has beed paid a sum of money from insurance, so every condo owner has a percentage of that payout in escrow...the thing is that the complex was under insured and doesnt have enough to rebuild...so they HOA is litigating and hoping to get an additional payout. 

Make sure there is no eminent domain proceeding, epa cleanup issues, or pending litigation etc. that would affect the property.

The big "if' is can you have a civil conversation with this person.

They tend to have economic and civil unrest so long term investors like America.

The land trust and the LLC are the owner of the asset/real estate, so even in the scenario that potential litigants guess, they would guess wrong. 

Hopefully, they will just do it without her having to go through litigation.  

I'm an attorney, more of a litigator than a transactional guy, but interested in becoming more of the latter as I get old and want to stop fighting with all those young turks.Anyway, I am finally ready to get involved in real estate investing after many years of exploring options. 

The California Landlord-Tenant Handbook, and the law (Civil Code 1950.5), address this specific issue and state the following:The landlord may perform a final inspection after the tenant has moved out of the rental.

This separates the assets in the two entities if there is any litigation or other legal issues. 

I am pursing a degree in Civil Engineering as of right now.... and, I'm close to a minor in Real Estate.
