Central Valley, CA preferred asset protection

[Karina Turner]

I think I was lucky the first round of renting my family home out of state. I live in CA, and want to get opinions from active investors in my area: Fresno, Merced, Turlock, Modesto. What is your preferred way to protecting your personal assets? Umbrella insurance policy? An LLC? A S-Corp? I've heard of Land Trusts but don't know anything about them.
