She has a lot of hustle and talks a great game about protecting my investment, streamlining procedures, etc. 

What is the best way to protect yourself from running to any liens?

As a Realtor, your contract should protect you (it does in PA)

Protecting your income, wealth and investments requires adequately layering insurances, and it is probably worth getting an expert involved.Best of luck.

So, how do you invest to (1) take advantage of property price appreciation and/or protect against inflation (devaluation of “fiat” currency) and still protect against a crash?  

Hello to those reading,I manage a family-owned commercial property and we recently received a letter from the NYC Department of Environmental Protection about installing a backflow prevention device.

Being a KC guy I help a lot of Californai people invest here in multifamily and they come here for cash flow, landlord friendly laws, tenant laws, no rent control, lower property taxes, protection from style of governing.Hope that helps! 

Can somebody recommend an attorney for asset protection?

Much less inflation protection.

So, if the loan is under your LLC that protects your primary home in your personal name.
