I'm not going to pretend that one event will change it, but I do know that when we prove to people that it is possible to have a conference/tradeshow in the real estate investing space that isn't about the upsell from stage, things will change.We must alter expectations, because right now, we're fighting an uphill battle.

., you did something that you really should have known better that resulted in damage/injury), a judge could allow damages against you personally.These are the two situations that I can think of where an LLC wouldn't be very helpful, and these may be the situations where your attorney/CPA were thinking you needed more than an LLC.All that said, I couldn't even pretend to be a lawyer, so please don't take anything above as anything but the rambling of a non-professional who believes too much of what he reads on the Internet.

Probably the least productive activity is having to weed out the pretenders from the real players.I typically do this with having anyone I work with show bank statements and to verify that when they say they have 400,000, 1 million, or whatever to work with that they actually do in fact have that.You would not believe the number of people out there that pretend to be working with capital or overpromise themselves.
