They also provide better anonymity than IN.  

Your business structure needs to take into consideration tax consequences, risk tolerance, total assets, type of investing, short term goals, long term goals, anonymity, partners, raising money now or in the future, borrowing money, etc.  

Asset protection (which is what the original post asked) and anonymity.

@Pat Bruton The maximum protections in Texas are Series LLC's with anonymity trusts.

Now as for my plan I want to buy and hold thru anonymity type llc.

This gives me max anonymity, which I like.

Why can your tenant (or anyone) make anonymous deposits into your bank account?

The transfer back and forth game will destroy your anonymity, and most likely, your asset protection anyway.With 25 other free and clears, I would take on the crummier commercial term risk.  

If you don’t know what to ask, see my post in this thread: Private Money Lender – How to Qualify the LenderLast, ignore the anonymous solicitations you might now receive since you just posted that you are looking for money.

I appreciate the anonymity of an LLC, and found many hard money lenders require the LLC.
