-save $1k+ in taxes and fees yearly-can use the savings to get more insurance and a higher liability than the value of house. for flipping houses in California does anyone just put into sole proprietor own name and just use the $1k+ in savings for LLC costs into Insurance or use for savingor am I just being too risky. 

I don't know, it sounds kind of weird but my friend is kind of freaking out about potential liability since the lien was literally placed on the house essentially hours before closing.This is being made all too complicated.  

Additionally, wages sent directly to a church are not considered charitable contributions—to qualify for a deduction, the employee must receive the income first, pay taxes on it, and then donate to a qualified 501(c)(3) organization while itemizing deductions.The IRS closely scrutinizes arrangements that appear to shift tax liability, and if deemed an attempt to avoid taxation, both the employer and worker could face serious legal consequences.

The LLC can sign an agreement with the debtor (mortgagor, that’s YOU) accepting liability for the debt, but that’s only between the two parties involved in the agreement.  

If I’m the buyer the seller must acknowledge, in writing that they understand I have no liability on the note and that they retain liability.  

Forming an LLC for your rental property can offer liability protection, but no real tax benefit.

Quote from @Marlena Hawkins: Does anyone know what insurance (liability, E&O etc.) is required for Property Management companies in DC and Maryland? 

@Marc Zak Using an LLC for each property provides strong liability protection by isolating risks to individual assets, with income and expenses flowing through to your personal taxes on Schedule E.

Hi Brian, I have Obie in my properties now, although I've never filed a claim with them so far, they are the better rates I can find, ask for their tenant liability coverage, I paid an extra 107 dollars a year and they cover up to 100k if a tenant severely damage your property. 

As a cross-border investor, I'm likely going to need advice on entity structure to protect my liability while also not being double-taxed, I'm going to need to network with experienced investors/property managers/agents in the Cleveland area.
