In a trust your not personally liable in a single member llc the judge “ pierce the veil “ like a wet paper bag if you screw up .

If you decided to go the LLC route its important that you understand all involved in making sure you don’t pierce the veil, which most people inadvertently end up doing by omission.

Specific area of work will be the South King and Pierce counties.Thank you for your recommendations and experience. 

I now live in PSL and am also interested in the Ft Pierce area.

It is easier to find a cash flow BRRRR property now than a good flip around here but you probably have to look in Pierce county for a BRRRR.

I help clients buy at the trustee foreclosure auction every week here in Western Washington (Pierce, King, and Snohomish Counties).

If you're using the LLC for asset protection, having assets in the LLC with loans against them in your name will almost certainly pierce the veil, allowing anyone who might sue you to argue that you and your business are one in the same.If you want to get loans in the name of your LLC, work with commercial and/or portfolio lenders; not only will they allow you to borrow in your company's name, they'll most likely require it.

Hello @Catherine Barnes and let me add my welcome to the Bigger Pockets Pierce County community!

If you're want to be good at wholesaling, being able to ballpark renovations is part and parcel and being where a lot of that stuff gets sold is a good first step. homewyse is also a good website for getting that kind of info for the King/Pierce areas.
