Anyone have any good experience with a good Asset Protection Attorney in Nashville, TN ?

Looking to connect and talk with someone about protecting our property investments.

Thanks

Post: ASSET PROTECTION PODCAST

Hey all..

interested to hear some discussion surrounding the recent BP Podcast on Asset Protection (the "YOU WILL GET SUED" issue)

So far I have 7 rental properties all multi unit having several units each, and they are just all under my name, which according to the attorney in the podcast, should NEVER be done for exposure reasons.

I feel like I've gotten a lot of mixed advice. Insurance Agents tell you insurance is the solution. Attorneys tell you LLC is the solution. My CPA tells me the LLC's are too expensive to operate and set up and that he's never dealt with people having issues not having properties under LLCs.

Wondering what all of you EXPERIENCED investors out there have done for your personal strategies, and do you find the statement true that, "it's not IF, but WHEN you'll be sued"?

My problems are at this point, the due-on-sale clause being possible if I transfer my properties to an LLC, and also, applying for financing. Do you all find issues with applying for financing under Trusts or LLCs?

Thanks

(with the exception of headache properties - of those, there are plenty  of 2% out there)

Highest I've ever found is 1.62% and that to me was a steal.

No clue where any of you are finding 2% out there, but feel free to share! :) :) :)

Ned Carey hit the nail on the head! 5-yr terms have worked extremely well during the past several years because rates have moved down. They may seem less risky to people who had good luck during that time period. But I think eventually they will go up and that might be an issue for some.

The smart investors I know run sensitivity analysis to see what their exit looks like with higher rates and higher caps. One way to mitigate the risk upfront. If the deal still works on a refi with rates 250 bps higher, then you might be safe. If it doesn't, you are rolling the dice unless you borrow at a low LTV.

 Sorry for the ignorance but please explain 250 bps - what is this metric and how is it figured in a real world situation?

Thanks

 Ok I answered my own question I think. 250 basis points equals a 2.5% interest rate increase correct? So is that what most investors use as a "safe" figure estimate these days?

Fair question. Due diligence was a combination of my own walk-through's, the professional home inspection, and a contractor's repair estimates. I think I have a pretty good idea of the issues, but not sure my purchase price correctly factors them in, and the 1031 exchange deadline somewhat forces my hand. I don't expect to lose money, just won't make as much as I had hoped. If I can get them fixed up enough to attract reliable tenants, I'll feel better about it.

 Seems like you're doing the right things on the front end. I do hear you on the 1031 deadline though...that makes it a little more difficult.

Sorry to ask, just making sure. That is a pretty obvious way to find deferred maintenance.
