I've got 3 doors so far, and really trying to figure out how I can grow quickly and leave the corporate world behind as soon as is humanly possible. 

If they say they do not need to fill out a W-9 as they are exempt from 1099's being a corporation, then they still need to provide a filled out and signed W-9.

The reason I used that method was to be able to put the property in my name or corporation or partners.  

I would say it depends on the market.We had converted a 88 unit hotel into MTR for corporate housing in a market with a lot of job growth.

I have a good friend who is one of the top bankruptcy attorneys in the country (usually corporate).

We will be investing through a US corporation and all partners (and there are many) are foreign nationals so we cannot give any personal guarantee or collateral.

I understand the difference between titles held in Fideicomiso vs. a corporate entity, and the confusing “restricted zones” but, if I were speaking to investors unfamiliar with Mexico, how can I assure them their investments will be safe?

This means that you will probably need to pay registration and filing fees in at least 2 states if you don’t buy CA property as a CA resident.Any lawsuits should be limited to the assets of the LLC and not your personal assets (assuming you run the LLC appropriately and the corporate veil is not pierced, some debate as to SMLLC).

Be sure you have registered ALL your Corporations and LLCs by December 31, 2024Failure to file is a $500/day/entity fine!

Start cutting the favoritism, the golden net's, remove hurdles for small business launch, remove corporate favoritism and watch things correct themself.
