@Justin Pierce I definitely hear you about the gurus.

On that note, if you have an LLC. make sure you are following the rules and not piercing the "corporate veil".

I highly recommend Branson Pierce of Home Spectors.

Hello all, I am trying to find lists of evictions in King & Pierce countires through the courthouse for marketing to tired landlords.

I was SO glad my building owner spent the $20k to end the agony on both sides (mine and the homeowner's LOL).  

I have LLC's, S Corp, C Corp management company, set up for tax reasons, but have not placed any of my rentals into an LLC for liability purposes.A good lawyer will not only pierce the corporate veil, but if you are personally involved in any way managing the property, you will be personally sued for negligence with along your LLC.

You can still open a bank account from New Zealand it's just a bit involved.Also regarding LLC's make sure you incorporate in a state that makes what Americans call "piercing the veil", (looking through the LLC to the individual owners) difficult, does not have high sales and franchise taxes and has low annual operating costs to keep it legal. 

They are a great resource if your property is in King, Pierce or Snohomish county.  

Most do not have deep enough pockets to pierce the "corporate veil" and get action and results so they continue in business doing the same bad things over and over.

Whichever way you go, insurance is the first firewall and you'll need plenty of liability coverage and an umbrella liability policy as well.On the LLC, many assert that it can easily pierced by a savvy lawyer, though I've not seen any good examples of this occurring.
