Question is: if I have one of these LLC (owned husband and wife, in a non-community property state), but it's a just a passive LLC - such that all it does is owns public securities (ie, our brokerage accounts are titled in the name of the LLC), does the same rule apply?

If you see work crews reaching out, ask the person in charge of securing housing where they go looking.

The vast majority of lawsuits against Landlords are for wrongful eviction, security deposit disputes, and Fair Housing Violations.

Many laundromats take card payments these days, which is very helpful in verifying revenue.Look at the lease terms – long-term leases with reasonable rent increases are important for keeping costs predictable, and can also be important for securing financing.Also, check out the equipment and figure out what repairs or upgrades might be needed in the near future.
