Mindy Jensen POLL: What are the most-asked questions in the forums?

@Mindy Jensen Here is a straw man answer to the the generic LLC question.  1) If you don't have either a lot of assets in banks, brokerages, or real estate OR a big W-2 income that could be garnished, stop here and don't bother with entities.  2) If you are in California, the minimum franchise tax of $800 per LLC per year makes LLCs an expensive approach to asset protection.  3) If you are buying single family homes and want to get mortgages it is way less expensive to buy and borrow in your own name.  4) If you are still reading this because you are wealthy, live outside of California, and use commercial lenders, then you definitely have a lawyer you can talk to, so why are you asking this on the forum?
