@Audra Smith-  thanks ...regarding WA -- the state is large  -  if  looking in  W wash  ( the  3 main counties  of King / Snohomish and Pierce )  you will likely  be  surprised  at the  high  prices   plus  most  multi  fam   proeprties have already been  scoured  over  ....if  looking at  other  regions - there will likely  be much better price points   but less  inventory of  duplexes  .....if needed to use a loan - get  pre approved  so you can  make sure you have the  funds  avaiable 

If you are sued and the judge believes you have pierced the veil, your personal assets could get throw into the lawsuit.

@John Pierce Northern Barton Heights, and each unit is 3bd 1ba

The biggest benefit is anonymity, and its an extra hurdle for an attorney to pierce.

You should look into places like Titusville, Melbourne, Palm Bay (already mentioned above), Sebastian/Vero Beach, Fort 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 high likelihood the plaintiff’s attorney will be successful in “piercing the corporate veil” of your LLC and being able to sue you directly.

Quote from @Tracey Pierce: I have been working with Bianca at Fund & Grow. 

For me if I am going to go through the hassle of setting up LLC's to hold my real estate, and I am going to go through the effort of actually following the rules to "not pierce the corporate veil"  Why wouldn't I spend the extra money to make sure that my entity structuring also protects my privacy and doesn't open me up to litigation and lawsuits?

I only watch Sno, King, Pierce, Kitsap & Thurston counties so I can't speak to then entire state of WA but Moses Lake is up and coming with better numbers.
