The problem was I actually enjoyed it...or I am so far removed from it that I don't remember the agony and turmoil that can be a home renovation.

If you go to South King or Pierce County, you can find 7-9%.  

I co-host the Capital REI Group with John Rubino and Justin Pierce, we are all active investors.

The tenant would only have the right to bring a judgement against the company and it's assets, and not the members or member.Clearly defrauding someone would be out of the scope of this thread, as we are talking about people running real business without the intent to defraud people, which is the main avenue to pierce a vail in the court systems today.

I don't own in Tacoma yet, but all the Pierce County multifamily investors I've met are pretty keen on the area long term largely due to the big-scale economic factors.

YES, a good lawyer can sue you personally as well, but they will need to prove a few things to "pierce the corporate veil" (the legal terms of being able to go after you personally).....they can do that a number of ways, but in general they would need to prove that YOU were fraudulent in your dealings as the owner of the company.Check this for a quick and dirty read on how that can happen...http://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/personal-li...Yes it is a good idea, but you have to follow the rules in order to be able to insulate yourself.

LLC's and other entities can be easily pierced by any competent attorney who is dead set on getting to you and your personal assets.

If you are not, the LLC can be easily pierced.

In keeping with maximizing the liability protection of the LLC and minimizing the risk of veil piercing, I'd like to mortgage to be in the name of the LLC.

That seems like a pretty easy way to pierce an LLC.
