As long as you set up the entity correctly, the corporate veil will be difficult to pierce. 

A lot of landlords are advised to put their properties in the name of an LLC for asset protection.While this is basically true, the reality isn’t what most landlords think.If a legal issue occurs with your property resulting in a lawsuit, there’s a decent chance the plaintiff’s attorney will be successful in “piercing the corporate veil” of your LLC if you were sloppy and being able to sue you directly.

First, equity stripping is a really good way to have the corporate veil pierced causing the owner to be personally liable. 

As long as I am compliant, creditors cannot pierce my corporate veil.  

I am looking at smaller municipalities in King county south of Seattle and Pierce County. 

I also have certain software and overhead that is used for all LLCs, and I need to make sure expenses get tagged correctly to avoid commingling and piercing the LLCs' veils.

They basically have said this equals an easy piercing of the veil.  

I sourced most of my materials and labor from Pierce Co. 

Fort Pierce appears fairly gully over there, so I don't know if I would recommend that city.

I’m mostly trying to figure this out for my area in Washington state, Pierce county and king county.
