You WILL be adding $1,000’s if not $10’s of thousands in additional costs (accounting, insurance, banking, and financing will all cost more.)to protect the equity in the properties that a simple umbrella would have protected. 

I am in the area there are good amount of properties here that definitely can be added value.
