My realtor said to ask for-Radon test, full home inspection, tank sweep, sewer scope.For my own bed bugs paranoia I may have a pest person check out the place as well. 

People in deep general depression and stress-related cognitive dysfunction, age-related dementia, paranoia, schizophrenia, all kinds of things.

Lots of HOA paranoia on this forum.

Think that is crazy paranoia that could never happen?

(your own neuroses or paranoia about your property does not meet the criteria for Necessary)For example, I have a client with a property in Puerto Rico. 

That's just raw speculation, paranoia, and scapegoating....dangerous traits in a client. 

The liability paranoia is a product of gurus and attorneys scaring people to use their services, mostly, but properly run they are another hurdle to overcome.I would not be concerned with a 4 plex in my personal name with better financing, if I were going to have 20 properties, that becomes a business factor.

Women in the military or civil service were paid the same as the men at their same grade.I have always thought I could go back in time to any era in history, I think the future is more scary.There has always been a bit of paranoia in government among officials and some conspiracy theories, but nothing to the scale of the general population having the distrust of government until after Kennedy was slain.

I'd say the best role of a mentor is the kick in the tail that many need, getting them past newbie paranoia, moving to act, getting involved and providing guidance and answers as situations pop up.Actually, my thoughts to education are along formal educational lines or settings such as classroom, seminars, even internet and one-on-one instruction.

Piercing the veil of an entity is far easier than the asset protection gurus would have you believe.The alternative is to go all in and get a really great asset attorney to setup the most complex protection strategy your checkbook can carry.My estate planning attorney is fond of saying, "Everyone needs as much asset protection their paranoia and wallet can support."
