But if asset protection is a key concern, it’s worth discussing further with your attorney to find a balance that works for you.This has no income tax impact.

I’m less concerned about the small items, and I focus on where big costs surprises can come up (new sewer lines, breaker upgrades, galvanized piping, etc) so I can re-trade my offer appropriately.
