I actually just ran into a HUGE issue with a private blog I manage (not a Carrot website) where it was infected with Malware and my hosting provider gave me 3 warnings and shut down my account.

That being said they do not provide absolute protection, the veil can be pierced if you do not run  them correctly, and you cannot make yourself immune from personal acts. 

You can probably find a CPA who will do what you want, but you are the one left defending it to the IRS.Also be careful if you are claiming home office, full cell phone bills and expensing your full automobile against that short term rental.

All you need is a rental lease agreement signed and dated + copy of a security deposit and you can use 75% of it - PITIA right away.All other income types require extended periods of time to use in a conventional financing scenario such as:- note or interest income or dividends from stocks - receipt for min of 2 years as shown on tax returns + 3 years of continuance on the note and stocks are assumed to provide income into the future- self employment income - min 1 years of history and 2 years in the same industry with no significant gaps of employment- W2 income or salary - min 2 years working in the industry or higher education(college) in a related field with no significant gaps of employment and min 1 paystub to use income to qualify- Bonus income at W2 job - min 2 years of receipt (off chance to use 1-2 years of receipt)- over time income at W2 job - mins 2 years of receipt (off chance to use 1-2 years of receipt)- contractual income like sandwich leases, land contracts, is similar to the note or interest income above- royalties  use for qualification is like contractual income - min receipt on tax returns for 2 + years to average for use to qualify- alimony is min 6 months of receipt to use the income as a reliable income source for qualification purposes- child support income 6 months of receipt plus min 3 years of continuance or 36 months left till the child is 18 years of age or you cannot use it- automobile allowance from employer W2 - needs to have been received for 2 + years to use- many other types of income.

Again, this all does not make SV immune to a business cycle but there are good fundamentals here.

I am immune to making lowball offers..

As long as you stick to a disciplined set of rules, as big if not bigger profits can be made in slower markets as well.House flipping, because it is such a short-term style of real estate investing, is largely immune to extreme market fluctuations.

It is completely immune to what the market does.How?

HPS is a rare (only 20-50 cases per year in the United states) but deadly (40% mortality rate) disease transmitted by infected rodents through urine, droppings, or saliva. 

Although I do try and give everyone the benefit of the doubt, the truth is that there are good and bad contractors out there (even some of my own project managers weren't immune to stretching the truth).Overall, you do want to spend the majority of your time focusing on high level projects and delegate the rest.
