What would be the point of you providing proof of funds for another person? 

If the deed or loan is still in your personal name (which is common even when the LLC “owns” it functionally), they include you to make sure there’s no gap in coverage.

There is very little court action around ESA, I know I don't want to be the first person to get stuck with defending a lawsuit. 

My wife and I personally, as investors, have had to do it.

Set your goal on using your personal credit and cash. 

Rarely are there claims worth pursuing personal assets.

My name is Chase Busick, & I started investing in early 2014 while in the military, by aggressively increasing my savings rate (as I am a pretty minimal person) & sacrificing thousands of hours of my time, energy, & money in self education.

I value relationships and would love to meet in person with individuals or groups.

Holding any asset in an entity as opposed to personally MAY limit potential liability solely to that entity and not expose other personal assets.  

When I buy my primary home it has to fit my PERSONAL needs.
