@Jonathan Blanco If you’re worried about $3000 in fees you’re in the wrong business.

Hi guys, I have some questions about putting property into LLCs/protecting assets, any information is greatly appreciated: Question 1: my understanding is that an LLC needs to be actively conducting business in its registered state in order for the LLC protections to apply, otherwise a judge could potentially pierce the corporate veil.

Thanks for the feedback; some quick stats: 9 doors across 4 states, about 50% LTV ratio with a Net Income of about 17% and cash on cash of about 3%.....in fairness those numbers include some overall business expenses not tied directly to one specific property.

You must have the intent to hold the relinquished property and the replacement property for rental, investment or business use. 

Looking to get into some smaller apartment buildings in the near future.As far as the difficulties of investing in Japan, I of course agree with everything said, but in my case I'm at near-native fluency and own and manage my own business separate from anything real estate related so even without permanent residency I've never had trouble getting a loan (except of course I can't get some govt backed ones like a primary residence mortgage) for business or investing.I'll try to get in touch with everyone local to よろしくお願いします。

A standard "business owner's policy" is fine -- it covers the building, commercial general liability, and ideally, loss of rent. 

Real Estate is a belly to belly business.

Not to mention they wrote of over $300k worth of taxes for me utilizing a cost segregation study. 

:I had a consultation with Andersons a month ago... his youtube videos are great and a lot of good information... but they have packages... and are VERY VERY expensive... for the same setup as other companies for a lot less.I contacted Royal Legal Solutions as well... packages as well and expensive.I also contacted the Small Business office in Kansas and a couple of local lawyers.So far Mark J K has been the best consultation and fees as very down to earth... but will confirm tomorrow :)
