Maybe you need a land trust.

I have been investing in real estate for well over twenty years and can tell you there are a lot of ways to make money in real estate. 

I am searching through all the BP threads trying to find the best fit for me in terms of asset protection/law/CPA firm that specialize in real estate investment and have narrowed it down to Anderson or KKOS/Mark Kohler.

That being said, anything can happen, but if you run your numbers accordingly, make sure that your contractor is trusted and do all the other stuff you'll be a little more protected than the next person flipping that does not do this type of calculation. 

on the HML did U not get a first position mortgage or deed of trust with lenders Alta ?

Real estate success is driven by demand, it sounds like you will have more tenant options and higher prices in Ft.

I should have mentioned that I am out of state in Colorado and I'm not connected yet to contractors that I trust to do a rehab.

If you work with real estate investors, it's nice to be relatable to your clients as well.
