@Wen Wu,The purpose of protection against real-estate related liability goes beyond protecting your income property, it'also to protect your personal possessions against litigation brought regarding any of your holdings.There are tax advantages with business entities, and there is also the opportunity to develop credit in your business(es) separate from your own personal credit.

And it too was a cash cow, it brought in over 30k monthly, i remember fondly driving my sports car around town with 30k of one dollar bills in the trunk to the bank.

I suggest that these people are brought to the attention of regulators
