If you wanted to create a whole business model, then obviously it would take meticulous planning.

Thank you all for the wonderful advice - I was able to craft up a letter and delivered it personally.

If so go find an attorney who SPECIALIZES in that field and can craft something specific to your particular situation.

Plus the bonuses.So craft your plea, include a link to the first page of this thread http://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/56/topics/50571-don-t-campaign-for-votes-must-read- and show your appreciation to Bigger Pockets, Joshua Dorkin, Nick, and his team who are sacrificing for this great community.And thanks to you who have voted, following my personal request.

If you have a big pile of cash in the bank, a lawsuit can target that, too, without a carefully crafted asset protection strategy.That said, do the math.

Of course even if the document has been crafted well the actions of the members play a big part as well.CPAs and attorneys are not created equal.

Dan,Not sure if this will help or not, but it helped me when we were starting our Construction Company about 15 years ago.I had wrote a letter to each real estate broker in town about FORMING a "Strategic Alliance" that letter opened more doors for me than all the phone calls, post cards than it every had.If you sit down with a piece of paper and write PROS and CONS why someone needs to do business with you, then go ahead and craft your letter.You will need to do this TWICE.

We can meticulously plan our lives and make all the right decision, but life throw curve balls all the time (Again, illness, layoffs etc) and you cannot protect yourself from everything.With regard to own vs. rent, I still believe that for the average person owning is more economical than renting (Aside from appreciation, tax benefits etc).

If I've done it long enough, designing ion-propulsion systems for space craft is a piece of cake, but UNTIL I've done it long enough its NOT easy and its NOT simple.

Just trying to refine my craft, if you will.
