But I also think it’s worth seeing which areas get hit worst with their virus itself as that could move markets.

Once you get into investment property I would definitely use an LLC as a “shield” between you person and any liability resulting from the subject property.  

This works just to shield a portion of the gain.

One major advantage is liability protection, which shields your personal assets if any legal issues arise with the property.

Rely on insurance to defend you, not any entity to shield you. :)

Reading few forums here on BP always recommends to buy the property under a LLC to protect your personal assets and shield from liability arising from the properties.

The HPV virus could kill you, but pretty much everyone is going to be exposed to HPV in their lives, so the risk doesn't increase through prostitution (and there is now a vaccine that most women get).

@Graham Parham LLCs do not shield their members from their own tort liability even if that tort occurred while that person was acting in his role as a member of that LLC.  

I think you are onto something with your last statement about the impact from the "virus". 

If you were to dumb it down to one single rudimentary difference between "cheap" solutions vs Lead Propeller and Investor Carrot type sites its this: buy it yourself, pick it yourself, build it yourself, maintenance itself, back it up yourself, restore it yourself, patch it yourself, replace plugins that are no longer compatible yourself, become an expert in 3-5 different types of technology that all are "supposed" to work together yourself AND let someone else more effectively do it for you for very little "extra" money than what it would actually cost you.I have built countless websites on Wordpress, countless plugins, recovered from viruses, done some Joomla/WIX, HTML, etc sites and I can tell you: IT SUCKS.
