My firm integrated the services together and our clients have loved the one stop shopping for all RE accounting, tax, asset protection and entity work. 

That is just not realistic in this current market.So in my opinion it's important to expose yourself to a large number of deals, so you can develop an intuitive sense of what's reasonable and what's not (and quickly discard the ones that aren't).And it's true that there is no way to 100% protect from fraud (and not just in passive real estate investments but even in public stocks etc.).

Also make sure you protect yourself with the correct contract documents. https://www.myfloridalicense.com/wl11.asp

Hey BiggerPockets Community,If you're a real estate investor or developer eyeing opportunities in Los Angeles, SB-9 (the California HOME Act) could be a game-changer for your strategy.

Theyre worth keeping an eye on.They will be at IBS, delivery times is a great question to ask them.  

I have looked for examples of landlords that were protected by their LLC and always come up empty handed.

Want to understand more about tax issues, liability, and asset protection regarding investing in real estate.

Get someone on the ground to be your eye and ears and lookout for your interest.

My view is there is more protection on a wrap than a sub to and with the right disclosures and underwriting can be an alternative option. 

If I was the buyer's broker, I would have checked myself to protect my client.If they had, then they would have found out it was not a three family.
