Ironically its the investors in the layered LLC's who believe they are hidden in the cloaks of secrecy and better protected who end up in  the most costly and drawn out litigation while giving the plaintiff attorneys reason to take a more thorough look under the hood.Keep your LLC ownership simple, carry appropriate insurance, make sure ever vendor you work with carries appropriate insurance and those who perform work functions most likely to lead to liability exposure list you ad additional insured (not merely certificate holder) and it should go without saying, avoid negligent conduct.

Hello @Lorraine Hadden,I’ve represented several sellers who were previously listed FSBO. 

The original deed listed multiple owners and percentages including her 8% interest, and now myself and the other owners want to sell the property---how do we get this retitled into my account (or my name) in order to facilitate the sale?

Wiey Underwood I answered a similar question in the thread link below and listed several of the cost segregation companies that our customers use (not necessarily partners).https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/51/topics/1163125-mater...

And if you still are hesitant to get started, and think this mentorship could help, I would have a list of very specific questions ready:If you issue is finding good deals (welcome to RE today), ask what Tom will actually do to get you more deals?  

For instance, one property seems to have an extra bathroom that is not listed in the county records.I plan to make some modifications, including removing a closet wall to expand a bathroom and taking out a kitchen island that contains electrical outlets and a switch.

I have a house under contract that was listed for $550 and the buyer offered $520.

I look at listings 3x a day.

All three had not been listed yet.  

And that’s pretty close to the response I have planned for anything that was obvious, in plain sight, or as minor as some of the things you listed.
