I invest personally as well as help other investors find off-market deals.

@Don Konipol  Don talk about a book on this subject by I think its Jimmy Napier which was written years ago But Don says its the bible I personally have not read it As I got my education working for a HML in Oakland CA and got on the job training as it where .He was a legend and I was very fortunate to find my way to his company and then eventually end up running it.

We are hoping to list quietly and with a very specific person for these reasons.

My question is, how can I structure this to protect myself from a situation where someone sues the LLC and takes the property, leaving me personally liable for the loan?

This is too important and also sort of a personal question depending on your state and specific circumstance and I suspect not a one size fits all answer would suffice. 

There are some lenders who specialize in lending for double closes and will basically send you the money for a couple days but I personally haven't done this and don't know what the charge.

- regional / drivable destination (I've personally rented out a bunch of Airbnbs here)- already established STR laws (while very strict, they have shown to grandfather in permits and haven't proposed a flat out ban that would also retroactively take away permits)- Fredericksburg also fights new hotels just as hard as STRs.

It was definitely not personal.

Basically every personal house we ever owned except this last one which we built from scratch.

This specific guest was a physician and sounded as though he had a fair amount of personal income that could be used to support his property.
