Like others have mentioned, you will pay structurally more for a home warranty than self-insuring for the cost of repairs.This may be worth it if the value proposition was that you could be hands-off whenever a covered item breaks.In reality, it adds significant overhead because there is the claims process and you give up control of the repair timeline and quality as you have discovered.

Hi Josh,I'm interested in structuring a deal with an investor much like you mentioned in your post.

Would love to learn more about how to structure.

The answer will be dependent on your fact pattern, so a general forum like this may not be able to answer such a broad question.With regard to the LLC structure, note that CA does not recognize series LLCs, and CA tends to have a broad opinion of what constitutes "doing business" in the state, and therefore, what LLCs need to report with the CA Secretary of State and file appropriate tax returns. 

Is there any way we can amend our operating agreement/LLC structure in order to anonymize our addresses?
